Boy, it is so disappointing that some breeders cannot be trusted. Very sad.

Breeders are humans like everyone else. Not everyone is to be trusted. And when there is money involved, even less so :-(

Some individuals will lie and cheat to make money.

Yes, for sure.

I don't consider them to be breeders. They are shysters who dabble in genetic fraud and produce frankencats.

Totally agree, I was holding my tongue.

I tried that but mine keeps escaping

Let me clarify. It's not the Coccidia I'm worried about. I mentioned that only due to the post being about sick kittens. The one I uploaded is the same one I signed...just the signed copy was too large to upload. I'm concern is that after reading all the posts (some of the more recent ones from 2015 to present) the general consensus is that their kittens aren't anything more than maybe an F6 (or 7) Savannah or a chausie kitten, which is not what I paid for. I do have some emails from Jimmy explaining about the parents (which I can upload when I get to from a computer...can't from my phone) and I'm pretty sure it somewhat contradicts some of the things he told other members of this site. Not only that but he seems to contradict himself in an email he sent to another member who upload that email to this site (I would have to scroll back for reference). If the kitten has breeds other than what the contract states, which is Savannah Lynx hybrid and isn't the generation he claims it to be, would that not give me some kind of leverage to at least go to him and ask for money back (or at least a portion since we do love the kitten, but $2500 is a bit excessive)?

And money nor the generation was an issue with us. If you look at the pictures we were sent versus what the kitten looks like when we received her they don't even look like the same car really. We live in Texas and they are in California so we didn't get the chance to see her beforehand and we've also never purchased an animal from a breeder, we've only had rescues. We are both totally new to the world of savannahs and the process. We weren't trying to be irresponsible when selecting a breeder, I thought we had asked appropriate questions and were trying to do it right! However, you live and you learn. My fiancé was actually willing to pay more through another breeder (who papered kittens), but do to the pictures they post and send (which now I know are photoshopped) I chose to go with them not knowing what we were actually getting into fully!

Lindsey you're best bet is to contact an attorney to see if DWC misrepresented what you were sold and whether you have any recourse. Did you do any research about SVs prior to purchasing from DWC? There are permissible and non permissible outcrosses when breeding SVs listed on the TICA site. If you did not do your due diligence before purchase you may bear some responsibility for the situation via caveat emptor.

Do you know who the parents are? If they sold you a "F2.5 Savannah" this could be quite important as the new queens are F1 Chausies. Stella, Sable and Mattie are allegedly F2s (your kitten would have to be from one of them). They had an F6 Savannah stud but they are no longer using him. Big Foot is an F7 savannah, Goat has zero Savannah blood, Polar Bear would be an F4 based on the description but I do not know what the heck he is. Not sure what they are stating as a "Lynx". I am not saying that they are not interesting cats that would appeal to some people but they are certainly not what I would consider Savannahs.

BTW, am I the only one wondering why all of her cats look seriously pissed off in the photos? And why have a picture of an ALC cat (that they "met one summer") if you are not breeding Bengals? In case you can't tell, this cattery seriously pisses me off.

ok, my thing is, do you love your kitten????? Regardless of it's actual Generation signifier, do you love your kitten??? If you do, call it all good and move on. My cats are worth more than my car, I have over 15K invested in my cats!!!! Never ever would I even consider sending them back or asking fur a kick back.

Don't really matter what it really is, it's one of my kids.!!! Sure, you purchased from an unreliable shyster, but, do you love your kitty??? If so, count your blessings, and have the vet take care of any illness. Next time, and likely there will be a next time, adopt a kitten from one of the fine breeders from this site.!!! Can't go wrong with any of the fine established breeders that are also members here.
