Nice choice! Mine are from them. Great looking cat.

Google searched a couple days, and used search term:"Longest F1 Savannah cat breeder". I got lucky as Holly is great, helpful and attentive. Facility is clean, modern, and prolific. Very high quality, care taken to methodically socialize the kittens, and I like the comformation that they breed for. Beautiful faces, IMHO.

How old is yours?

Louie's king is Thor and queen is Nyah.

THAT is an awesome shot

F5 female, 6 yo, and 2 F3 full brothers, 3 yo and 2 yo. Members John Popp and Amanda each have a half brother to my boys. And yes that is an amazing cattery they have.

Holly and Dale were great to deal with when I visited and picked up Chongo. I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to pull the trigger, but I had the opportunity to see a great number of kittens and one really stood out as the extremely playful, confident kitten I was looking for. When their young daughter said "that one likes to play a lot" I was totally sold.

Also had a fairly long conversation with Dale about genetics until he made my head spin. They packed me up for the 6 hour ride, then Chongo and I had a long chat with him doing all the talking.

The facility is definitely first rate and I was most intrigued by a 65lb serval rescue they had. I've seen quite a few servals before, but that one was a monster sized cat. Pretty sure he wasn't part of their breeding program, but still pretty stunning.

Welcome! Louie is a stunning baby, congrats!

Neglected to mention that Louie is an incredibly handsome kitten and extend a welcome!

Very very nice, think we may have to save up for an f1 in the future as they are stunning and this is coming from a man who doesn't like normal cats at all, could you pm me how much f1s cost if you don't mind as we are very interested in getting one, also I take it the f1 would be ok with our f6 sbts.

Steve,
F1 males range from about $12,000.00 to about $18,000.00, from what I've seen. F1 females cost around $5,000.00 more, all else being equal. F1-F3 males are sterile, but females are not, thus the higher price as they can be used as queen breed stock.
