I went to the TICA cat show this weekend in Waco, Texas. I am currently researching as much as possible about the bengal and looking for potential bengal breeders.
I talked to 5 different breeders and took notes. They all seemed informative and easy going. How do I go about picking a breeder? I would love to get some advice and opinions from any of our fellow breeders on how they chose who they bought from or anyone else who has any helpful tips on making that final decision.
How many years of breeding/showing qualifies a breeder as experienced in your opinion? Most of the breeders do know each other, but that doesn't help me in my decision. I know that there will be 3 key items I will be looking at to help me decide.
1. Price/Health guarantee
2. Ability to produce the bengal I would like/likability of breeder
3. Temperment of the cat/quality
I plan on going to at least 2 or 3 more shows this year to get to know any and all potential breeders available to me.
