Welcome! These breeders are very good breeders - ethical, responsible and well respected.

Ok I am going make this thread a zombie.

On the list you gave of serval breeders do
you have any that west west coast?

I was thinking more in Washington State.
I don't want to drive a long ways or have to fly.
This is just investigational at this point in time.

This is what I get for going and visiting with Bella's father.
Max the Serval. What a nice boy.

Sean where do you live? And you need to do a lot more research and thinking before you get a Serval.

Washington State. That is why I asked about any in Washington.
NOT in Seattle.
We are south of that mess and in an area
that allows both the Serval and Savannah.

EK Exotics is in Jacksonville, OR - but please heed what Paige is saying and thoroughly research what you are getting into if you decide to dive into serval ownership - it is NOT for the faint of heart and requires a lifelong commitment. Please print and read this flyer, which is an excellent synopsis of Savannah vs. serval ownership, written by Brigitte Cowell Moyne: http://svrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Advantages-over-Servals.pdf

I would not purchase from EK EXOTICS! There are a few good Serval breeders, but unless you are prepared for a Serval, I would stick to a Savannah.

This is part of the process of even thinking of doing this.
I really need to know what I am getting into if I do.

Before I even got my first Savannah I did a lot of research
and will do that again and who knows it may be a no go.
I will also work with the breeder that Bella came from and
do some talking with my vet. he works a lot with the exotics.
At this point it won't be a breeder so altered will be the plan.

The I also have to understand what laws and insurances I need
to deal with and just how they apply to my case.

Thanks for the link to that document. I know what I'll be reading tonight.

Sounds like you are going in the right direction with doing lots of research first. I spent over a year researching and thinking about getting a Serval, but in the end I made the choice best for the animal and myself long term and opted for a HP Savannah. After surviving the 1st year with Shango, I am sooo glad I didn't end up getting a Serval

Honestly, I don't think you could even attempt to keep an unaltered Serval as a pet inside your home. The smell would be horrific. Even altered Servals tend to spray.

I have been around a breeding serval and they smell less nasty that
the trash can I use to hole the cat litter till it loaded into the trash
to go out. I put it in a bag then transfer the bag out to the trash.

That stuff will clear you sinuses out fast and make your eyes water.

The serval's run was not near s bad. Less ammonia and more of a
musk smell but still very strong.

That is much different than living with a serval.
