Reference Cats
Cats previously used in our program
Colliercreek Ming Yao of Sakura
Ming Yao was my very first Bengal and will always have a special place in my heart. He got 2 finals in his kitten show and was the father of my first two litters. His daughter Sakura Twilight aka "Gia" was my first keeper girl and the mother of our upcoming stud DGC Sakura Midnight Sun aka "Max." He is currently living at Southlynn Bengals in Georgia.

Avenir Pixie of Sakura
Pixie was our first queen and an excellent mother. She is super playful and was the fastest Bengal we've owned yet. Feather toys didn't stand a chance against her. I should've gotten her into cat agility! She had two litters here and is the mother of Sakura Twilight aka "Gia" and grandmother to Sakura Midnight Sun aka "Max." She is now retired and lives with a wonderful family in Georgia.

CH Belladonna Breaking Dawn of Sakura
aka "Rouse"
This super sweet girl was one of our favorites. We had a great time showing her (she was the first cat I titled and got a best cat!) and she is such a clown - always entertaining us with her antics. It was heartbreaking to have to spay her when she got a pyometra (uterine infection) at just a year old and did not respond to treatment. Thankfully she recovered quickly once spayed and was adopted by some very good friends of ours so we still get to see her!
Sakura Twilight
aka "Gia"
Gia was our first keeper girl born in our very first litter from Ming Yao and Pixie. She and Rouse were best friends during the time they lived together. I was hoping she would live here long term and have several litters for us, especially after her first breeding produced our stunning boy Max. But she had difficulties maintaining pregnancy and we made the difficult decision to spay her. For a short while Gia lived with a wonderful family in Tuscaloosa who absolutely adored her. But sadly she disappeared during the devastating storms in April 2011. I hold out hope that she will be found.

CH Dreamquest Optimus Prime of Bahiya
aka "Pax"
Pax was one of my favorite Bengals that I met during my first few shows. I am lucky to have become friends with his owner Christina who was sweet enough to allow my girl Gia to visit with Pax. That pairing produced our upcoming stud boy DGC Sakura Midnight Sun. Thank you Christina!

Rowan Niflheim of Sakura
aka "Widget"
Widget is a beautiful brown rosetted girl whose single litter had some of the most beautiful rosetted and glittered coats we've had so far. This super sweet girl who is now living the good life with a wonderful couple and another retired girl Rouse.
***Widget screened equivocal for HCM in 2011 before being retired***
