The first Savannah?

[Luke Rawlings]

I wasn't really sure where to post this, but I was curious if anyone knows where I can find a picture of the first Savannah that was bred in the 80s.
Also, on an unrelated note, I'm wanting to start walking Archer. What type of harness should I use?

I'm not sure about that picture. As for harnesses, I am getting a mynwood and there is joykatz. Those are the two I recommend as they are well made and arrive in a timely fashion.

Well I used to have a picture, it was from an article in the Long Island Ocelot Club (now Feline Conservation Federation) newsletter, but I don't know whatever happened to it. I wonder if Patrick Kelley might have a copy...

I found the pics! This is really interesting reading about the first F1 Savannah and her two F2 babies (with a Turkish Angora sire). There's a lot of other great articles in the link, too.

Wow. Thanks Pam!

"The kitten’s specialized serval genes are apparent through her reputation as an accomplished hisser and slapper, her basic orthopedic structure and movement, coat markings, large ears, facial expression, body language, her wariness of strangers, and in true exotic spirit is extremely affectionate, however restraint of any type is not well tolerated."

So glad you were able to find it Pam!!!
