Aaliyah Bengals - Queen Page

"There is no need for a piece of sculpture in a home that has a cat." -Wesley Bates

Welcome to our Queen Page

Double CH Calcatta Aftermath
"Mattie"

Her sire is Jumanji Kilifi
Her dam is Grandeurbengals Darque Tempest

This spectacular girl comes to us from Chris Dahleen, Calcatta Bengals. Her pattern is extraordinary with color, clarity and contrast that these photos do not do justice to. We adore this DiCaprio granddaughter even more after seeing the gorgeous marble babies she can produce. Mattie has quickly become our top producing queen and we are extremely proud of her offspring!

We proudly introduce:

Nairobi Stormy Spirit of Aaliyah
"Stormy"

Her sire is PinyonPride Storm of Nairobi
Her dam is Nairobi Juma Rafiki

Stormy comes to us from Jill Orman, Legacie Bengals - many thanks to Jill for allowing us to have her in our silver program. Stormy is a solid girl with a lovely profile and wonderful whisker pads - we look forward to her contribution, although we hope she doesn't bless us with 11 kittens as she did for her previous owner!

We proudly introduce:

Rockymeountain Painted Sunset of Aaliyah
"Sunny"

Her sire is Cheetahsden Sxnu of Rockymeountain
Her dam is Double CH Adventure Beach Blithe Spirit

Sunny has come to us through a stroke of good fortune that we are still pinching ourselves over! She is a beautiful, glittered girl with the kind of diagonal pattern that we love so much. Her pedigree couldn't be any better - her sire, Sxnu, is one of the most amazing marbles we have seen with a spectacular head and gorgeous pattern. Sxnu is a son of two other extraordinary cats, RW, DGC Goldpurr Rambo and CH Cheetahsden Sxnu. Her dam, Blithe, is not only one of the most endearing, lovable cats on the face of this earth, but is also the kind of seal lynx point that breeders dream of. Her pattern is dark chocolate on a beautiful, clear ivory background and her eyes are deepest blue. Blithe is sired by the one and only, NW, QGC Chloe's Painted Spirit of Adventure Beach and she is out of RW, TGC Goldspurr Tir Na Nog. Blithe's brother is NW, RW, QGC, Supreme Roll of Honor Adventure Beach Spirit Quest.

Quadruple CH Aaliyah Evening In Elsamere
"Elsa"

Her sire is TICA CH, ACFA Quadruple CH Bengaland Nightstalker of Aaliyah
Her dam is CH Medoz Moulin Rouge of Aaliyah

A picture is worth a thousand words. Elsa simply embodies that elusive "wild essence" that is so rare to find in a Bengal that is nine generations removed from her ALC heritage. Elsa's name comes from an article we read about Elsamere - the compound in Kenya where the Born Free lions were raised. We think Elsa resembles something you might see on the prowl in the evening jungle. We look forward to what she will bring to our program in wild looking breed type and outstanding domestic temperament.

Double CH Medoz Jungle Gardenia of Aaliyah
"Luna"

Her sire is SGC Medoz Razor's Edge
Her dam is Bengaland Bambi Printz of Medoz

Luna's sire possesses breed type to die for and actually supremed at 8 months of age. Razor now lives in England and we are honored that one of his daughters belongs to us. Her granddam, Arctica, has produced many outstanding snows including IW, SGC Bengaland Arctic Hooter, #1 Bengal in TICA for 2005 - 2006.

ZenDada Artemis of Bluewater
"Temi"

Her sire is ZenDada Sun Dog
Her dam is Goldcharm Lucia of ZenDada

Temi is proudly co-owned with Jesse Bradford, Bluewater Bengals.

Temi is a striking girl with her lovely pattern, clear background and glorious colors! We are so happy to be adding her to our breeding program - but we want to get her to some shows before motherhood - we think she'll give her competition a run for their money! Thank you, Julie, for breeding this amazing baby - she is a joy to have in our home!

What a gorgeous girl!

Aaliyah Passion Flower
"Flower"

Her sire is CH Bengaland McCloud of Aaliyah
Her dam is Double CH Medoz Jungle Gardenia of Aaliyah

We have been working with lines known for carrying the "snow" gene for 5 years - but we could never produce one of our own. So, we obtained a wonderful seal mink male and a beautiful seal mink girl and knew if we bred them we would have to get snows. This lovely seal lynx point spotted girl was a keeper from the moment she was born as far as I was concerned - she's a little beauty!

Aaliyah Painted Poni
"Poni"

Her sire is QGC, Supreme Roll of Honor Chloes Painted Spirit of Adventure Beach
Her dam is Double CH Calcatta Aftermath

Poni was a huge surprise when she was born - we knew Painted Spirit was capable of producing spectacular seal lynx offspring - but Mattie has no snow ancestors that I can find! I think Poni is just a little miracle - and we definately have to keep her and see what this miracle will bring to us in the future.

Gogee's Nirvana of Aaliyah
"Vanna"

Her sire is Gogee's Heavenly Daze
Her dam is Gogee's Lalique

While surfing through my favorite websites one day, I came upon Gene Ducote's available kittens page and Vanna caught my eye immediately. She was a silver baby with the whitest background I have ever seen combined with a super short coat. I thought she might be a valuable addition to our silver program and sent a deposit on her the same day.

Vanna is a loving, sweet girl and has fit in with everyone here perfectly.

Aaliyah Islands In The Stream
"Dolly"

Her sire is TICA Triple Grand Champion, ACFA Grand Champion Bluewater ColdPlay of Aaliyah
Her dam is ZenDada Artemis of Bluewater

Dolly is the beginning of our silver marble journey. She is a sweet, well put together baby and her pattern is almost a duplicate of her beautiful mom's pattern.

Dolly is pictured below at 4 months of age. We think she is absolutely beautiful with a great pattern and intense contrast!

Legacie Plata Belleza of Aaliyah
"Plata"

Her sire is Crestwood Clouded Fusion of Legacie
Her dam is Legacie Silver Impression

Plata comes to us from Jill Orman, Legacie Bengals. We have wanted a Silver Impression daughter for some time and when we saw she had been bred to Jill's new silver male, Cloud (a Wurthy grandson), we knew we had to have one of their babies! Plata is simply gorgeous - she is covered in beautiful rosettes and her personality is extremely out-going and curious (that means she is into EVERYTHING!). We can't wait to get Plata to some shows and when she's old enough to breed her to ColdPlay. Plata is pictured here at 4 months.
