F1 Savannah Pics

[John Popp]

What would be considered high percentage serval?

For an F1 I would say high 50s and up.

For Savannahs....any percent over the normal 50% for an F1 has been advertised as high percent;>) As far as the Serval goes...there are no high percents.

Louie is 59% serval. The rest is Egyptian Mau.

wow both Siri and Louie are stunning! They look like very high % F1's not just regular F1's, not that any F1 is just "regular, but I think you know what I mean lol. How old is Siri? I bet they're such fun kitties!

Thanks so much! Siri is 12 weeks now and a complete opposite to our other F1. She is a total lap cat, chats all the time (hence the name Siri, you can't shut her up), wants to be with us all the time. I can hardly wait for her to mature into the queen we hope to breed. She has the perfect mix of looks and great personality! Here's a picture from this week.

Oh, and she is not a high percentage F1. 50%!

Siri is very beautiful. She has cheek markings very much like my Louie:

Wow that's great! Louie's such a great looking Savannah! As Shelby said above, at 59% he's considered HP (High Percentage). Basically to get a HP F1 Savannah, it means the breeder took an F1 or F2 female sv and bred back to a male Serval making the offspring higher than 50% serval blood, thus a High Percentage F1 SV. The draw and often higher prices demanded by HP F1's is that they tend to have more Serval-ish size and looks in general, not as a rule since there are other genes at play from the outcrosses, but generally speaking. As for high percentage Serval, heheh I think you meant to say Savannah as a cat is either a Serval or it isn't but the HP pertains to how much Serval blood is in the Savannah lol I hope that explains it fairly well lol In any case, Louie's a very handsome boy that's for sure!

Kim, you're very welcome, she's a doll! LOVE that pic of her. I hope to one day have an F1 as an iPhone user, I can totally understand the name Siri now
