Pet Only vs. Show Cat

You could enter her as exhibition, but you would need to get permission from the show manager since she is F2.

I am assuming you are referring to Mindy whom you are listing as A2N in you signature. An F2 cannot be shown as a Savannah or a household pet, but your SBT Bengal could definitely be shown. Were you at the Tucson show? If so, sorry I missed you! We may have a one-day show in Phoenix next spring, it all depends on if we can find an appropriate show hall.

I was at the Tucson show! It was fun to see all of the bengals, but I only saw 1 savannah. If you have a 1 day only show in Phoenix let me know!

She is actually an F5, but an A2N for her TICA code. If I understand correctly that means
A - “A” represents a cat that “is the
product of two cats of different
breeds”
2 - number of generations from a cat of
another species or from an unknown
or unregistered cat
N - “NonPermissible” which means
“crosses outside the breed or breed
group which are not among those
which are specifically allowed by the
breeding program which has been
established for the breed.”
With this being the case would permission still need to be obtain from the show manager?

Yup, you are right then, she is F5A meaning one of her parents wasn't a Savannah. In that case you could actually show her in HHP but that would mean that you would have to first get permission from the breeder, and then give up your Savannah registration papers and re-register her as a household pet.

I actually have three Savannahs there but was only showing one in HHPK.
