And this is where the genetics step in. What marks are we talking about here? Marbled, regular spotted, rosettes? Brown (black), silver, snow (tonkinese or burmese lynx point)?Originally Posted by LuvMyParker
The female is a Bengal/DSH mix but definitely has the markings. So if both parents have the marks, I imagine all the kittens will.
The sire being an F4 makes me assume there are some 'random' cats (DSHs or other breeds) in his pedigree which were used in his lines. The dam being a moggie could have basically anything in hers. This means there are no guarantees that the kittens will have strinking patterns and glitter. The kittens could even be just solid black (maybe even blue) or look like your average brown tabby DSH or DLH.
I hope your friend knows that it's very expensive to breed..tests for Bengals include FeLV, FIV, bloodgroup, HCM and PRA, perhaps even some others which I'm unaware of since I'm not into Bengals (Brits are 'my thing').
