<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The aim of my breeding program is of course to produce cats closest to the Breed Standard for the Savannah breed. The reality of breeding is that not all cats turn out as expected, and things like recessive genes can result in kittens being born that are not of the color or pattern we might be aiming for. Generally speaking, Savannah breeders aim to produce cats that resemble the African Serval, and most Servals are of the Brown Spotted Tabby variety. They also occasionally are seen in the melanistic (solid black) and white form, and very recently a picture showed a very tiny spotted (Servaline) Serval kitten in the wild. The Savannah breed standard includes the Brown Spotted Tabby to represent the majority of Servals, but also the solid black to represent the black Serval. Years back when the first breed standard was presented to TICA, the breeders that were around then made a decision not to ask for the seal lynxpoint (colorpoint) tabby to represent the white Serval. They felt that a highly developed silver spotted tabby would be a better representation. Because of the way TICA (the International Cat Association, the cat registry) runs, by asking for solid (nonagouti) black AND silver then they also had to accept the solid version of the silver spotted tabby which is the black smoke.</div>
<br />
Anyone that breeds more than a couple litters is likely to have a kitten that pops out that is not one of those four colors/patterns. Because of the domestic outcrosses used (the permissible ones during breed development were the Egyptian Mau, Ocicat, Oriental Shorthair and Domestic Shorthair, and then also Bengal was used quite some too), many of our Savannahs carry recessive colors/patterns: marble (classic), colorpoint (snow), chocolate, cinnamon and the dilute versions (blue, lilac and fawn). Additionally, the Orange gene can occur in Savannahs (red and tortie/torbie) and White, if cats were used along the way with those genes.<br />
<br />
So in reality, there are many Savannahs out there that are not falling within the accepted colors/patterns of our Standard. What does this mean? Does this mean they are not Savannahs? Of course not, they have the same genetics as a BST except for coloring. Does this mean they cannot be used in a breeding program? That is a more serious question and truly depends on the comfort levels of the people running that breeding program. Some would say absolutely not. But then some would say if the cat is exceptional in type, it may be worth working with. TICA will register the Savannah no matter the color.<br />
<br />
So what does it truly affect? Most obviously, it affects the ability to be shown. You cannot show a Savannah without it being one of the four accepted colors/patterns. So if your aim is to show, you need to purchase a Savannah that is BST, SST, black or smoke. If your aim is to produce show-worthy Savannahs then you also might need to consider this.<br />
<br />
Personally, I have seen some very dramatic Savannahs in unusual colors or patterns that it is still clear what breed they are. So if I were a pet owner, I wouldn't overlook them as options. But I have never used a nonstandard Savannah in my program...I celebrate the ones born, like the picture above of Miss Trouble who is still one of my favorite kittens produced and was a lovely dramatic marble.<br />
<br />
So what if you absolutely think that seal lynxpoint Savannahs (Snow Savannahs) should be accepted for show? TICA does have a process.... there are steps to follow to add a color or pattern to any breed. It takes effort, time and patience. A number of people have to show a number of cats in "New Traits", a special class at cat shows that allows your cat to be evaluated by judges against the Savannah breed standard. It's a thankless task, much like what many of us went through when showing the Savannahs through the new breed program for all those years leading up to acceptance into Championship. Once that criteria is fulfilled then the application can be made and the Savannah Breed Section will be polled to see if the majority agree that this should be added to the breed standard. And finally the TICA Board of Directors will vote on the issue. This process is the same for all breeds.<br />
<br />
Why wouldn't everyone agree to adding a color or pattern? It seems obvious in the case discussed here that Snow Savannahs (Seal Lynxpoint Tabbies) come closer to representing the White Serval than the silver spotted tabbies do. So why wouldn't it be easy to justify adding it to our breed standard? Because it just isn't that simple. The way that TICA does things, if we applied to add the colorpoint gene then we would also be accepting all genetic combinations. As mentioned earlier, by accepting the solid black and the silver spotted tabby we thence also had to accept the black smoke as that is produced from the solid (nonagouti) gene with the silver (inhibitor) gene. So adding the colorpoint gene would mean not only accepting the seal lynxpoint tabby (which people generally like) but also the solid colorpoint (Siamese coloring), seal silver lynxpoint and smoke colorpoint. And many do not like the idea of allowing solid colorpoint Savannahs.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, the Bengal breed faces a similar but reversed problem. There are some that would like to add the solid black Bengal to the breed standard, they love the black pantheresque look. BUT, adding solid black while they already accept the seal lynxpoint means that they also would be accepting the solid colorpoint Bengal, and nobody likes that idea. They'd also add smoke Bengals.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12815953153819593814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387996310002314313.post-21087737885761247492013-01-27T19:10:00.001-08:002013-01-27T19:10:09.874-08:00Nina update<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I noticed that my last post on the blog was two years ago, when I'd just traveled home from North Carolina with our Nina... so thought an update was appropriate.<br />
<br />
Nina is an amazing F1, she's huge (well very tall, I don't think weighs more than 17lbs) and she's so very exotic looking but she's not at all what people expect when they think "wild", she's malleable. I've taken her to many shows in her couple years of life, and people are amazed when I just haul her out of the show cage and hold her there. She may give little mews of protest about it, but she tolerates it. She's been plonked on judges' tables (during lunch times) and been examined and admired and behaved perfectly. It is my fault though that because I dragged her to so many shows, she really tries to avoid people when they visit our home. She's sick of being on display I think :-(<br />
<br />
What surprises people is that Nina is NOT a dominant personality, that is reserved for the more petite Savannahs in my household. Nina hisses, she definitely got the Servally propensity to hiss but also the second part of the "hiss and run" characteristic of the Serval. She's not assertive, with cats nor people.<br />
<br />
Nina is not the one in the house that demands a raw diet either, because that is another assumption people make about F1s. She eats canned food as happily as raw meat, and she is the only one that tries to steal cooked human food here. The others lose interest with any meat once we start cooking it.<br />
<br />
Nina is often quite ridiculous, when happy she not only gets the fluffy tail of happiness but she wags it about like a dog will. She will wriggle with glee flipping the tail about and she just makes us laugh. She will do this if she has a reasonable expectation of me picking up her favorite wand toy and playing with her. Especially if there are no other kitties to dominate play...because as I say, she is not assertive and so will always sit back if someone wants to play.<br />
<br />
And for those asking about kittens from her, yes we want her to have babies, but no we've not managed it yet. I can't wait to see her babies, I know they will be as exciting as she is :-)<br />

I spend a lot of time online in my roles with Savannah Rescue and as Savannah Breed Chair, and generally educating on forums and yahoogroups. Thought maybe putting some thoughts on a blog might also be valuable.<br />
<br />
One of the things that I notice is that people don't always know how to contact a breeder. And the reality of that is that different approaches will meet with success depending on the breeder. Some breeders simply want to know you want a kitten and they will sell it to you. Some are more selective, and a terse email such as "Do you have kittens and how much are they?" will get you an automatic no. You might think to yourself that the easier type of breeder is the first scenario, trouble-free purchase. But think further on this, if they don't bother with any interviewing or discussion before taking your money, what makes you think that after they have your money they will at all help you with any problems you have with that kitten. Frustratingly, I often get contacted afterwards by those buyers who tell me how much they regret rushing into the easy purchase...and yes they expect me to offer advice to them about someone else's kitten. Which I do, because I want the kitten to be happy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wo7KlQkPfq4/UQXlXvhrYqI/AAAAAAAAAhY/nz7z3bnY-hE/s1600/Jul08-12-gold-girl-sun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wo7KlQkPfq4/UQXlXvhrYqI/AAAAAAAAAhY/nz7z3bnY-hE/s320/Jul08-12-gold-girl-sun.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
If you are serious about wanting the best possible pet, you should want a conscientious breeder, the type that wants to know who you are and what your home is like before entrusting you with a kitten. That they are interested in this means that they want to make sure their kitten is right for you and that it has a good chance of working out. Being communicative with you before the sale means there is a better chance they will respond to you after the sale. If they gave you the third degree interviewing you, there's a good chance they also will want to hear from you afterwards, they will make sure that the kitten is settling in well, and be willing to offer advice with any integration issues you might have.<br />
<br />
You should want a breeder that can answer the hundreds of questions you might have. That way you know exactly what you are getting, you can get information about the kitten's personality rather than try to guess from the picture(s) you are sent. That way you aren't making assumptions about how the kitten is raised, only to be disappointed by what you find out later. Not all breeders are super-chatty, and I don't mean you have to be BFFs with them, but a good amount of communication before you make your decision is a very sensible thing to insist on. I often hear how people rush to put a deposit on the kitten to make sure they get it, and then ask the questions or see the actual contract.<br />
<br />
So how to write your first email to a breeder? Err on the side of verbosity if you need to. Tell them about your household and why you want a Savannah. Tell them what you are looking for in that Savannah, and if there is a range of generations etc that you would consider include that. It may take a bit to write, and there is no harm in cutting and pasting it in multiple emails to many breeders once you've gotten it all down. Make your timetable clear too, do you want a kitten NOW or are you willing to wait for the right kitten?<br />
<br />
Be aware that if you send out an email that is openly addressed to a lot of breeders, most don't feel obliged to reply. They figure someone will, especially if they don't have any kittens available. I always try to respond (even to the ones that seem obvious scams), even if just to say I don't anticipate having the kitten for them anytime soon.<br />
<br />
If you've obviously spent some time trying to communicate with that initial email, I in turn are more likely to put myself to the effort of working out who do I know that might have a kitten that is right for you, and directing you there. When you've included enough information to know what you want, then I can help you more easily. And many of us breeders like to help and are happy to recommend each other, this is not simply a "business" for us, it is a hobby and we are a friendly community rather than direct competitors.<br />
<br />
What about phone calls? It's great if the breeder picks up the phone, they may even have time to chat...but for me, I often screen my calls simply because I don't have an hour right then to sit and talk to someone. Emails can sit until later in the evening or when I have a moment to type some of a reply and go back to it later. Emails are often more convenient for both sides of the equation, because you don't have to choose a polite time in the breeder's timezone either! Nor worry if you will wake them up, disturb their dinner etc. And if someone leaves me a voice mail saying they are calling to see if I have any kittens, I often don't pick up the phone to call them back just to say "no, I don't". So if you leave a number of voice mails for breeders and don't hear back, the likelihood is that they don't have any available.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12815953153819593814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387996310002314313.post-18603597799596342742010-11-10T19:55:00.001-08:002010-11-10T19:58:57.561-08:00Nina, our newest Savannah resident<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/TNtpQZWRxnI/AAAAAAAAAGM/VcCLEBAKMQc/s1600/Nov01-10-lay.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/TNtpQZWRxnI/AAAAAAAAAGM/VcCLEBAKMQc/s400/Nov01-10-lay.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538135897185306226" border="0" /></a>Meet AmazingGrace Tathinina of Kirembo, aka Nina, she's a 62.5% F1.

She was a fussy eater, but I adapted and warmed her rabbit (a specific brand was required) and offered it multiple times a day. I just felt if I could get her eating all would be well. She seemed okay still, although not high in energy she was still playing and cuddling.<br /><br />She had a vet appointment for the Monday, I wanted to do bloodwork and talk about stimulating her appetite, still not suspecting anything really wrong as she WAS eating a little, and drinking and no fever, puking or diarrhea to concern me. But on Saturday she really crashed, she wobbled when she tried to headbutt me. I ran her to the emergency vet and spent a few thousand on testing. Fluids did not cure the head bobbing, which I had assumed was dehydration. Her bloodwork was grim, the vet started saying dry FIP. Normally when a vet says FIP I am cynical, it's a standard response of many vets to a purebred cat looking ill. But this vet was well-informed, once she knew that I understanded the testing etc we had a good discussion on why it might be that and what other things it could be. She lost her kitten to dry FIP last year, she was very sensitive and caring.<br /><br />The initial inhouse lab work came back that night, all blood testing indicated dry FIP as the most likely cause. Ultrasound showed that her kidneys and spleen were packing it in, they took biopies to look for lymphoma but it wasn't that. The internal medicine specialist was consulted (he was one of the specialists that saved my Millie Mousie some years back) and he sadly couldn't find an alternate diagnosis that fit the clinical picture. As the tests came back, the evidence just pointed only to dry FIP.<br /><br />We discussed treatments, I read scientific articles about the promising treatment PI (polyphrenyl immunostimulant), use of steroids and antibiotics and homeopathic treatments. The one thing I noticed in all this was that the cats did not seem to have great quality of life throughout these treatments and "cures" were rare. There would be stabilization of condition but then "bad" episodes the cat would then be rescued from again. I started wondering if I would be putting Z through a lot of suffering simply because I couldn't accept the inevitable.<br /><br />I went back in to visit Z and her condition broke my heart. She purred at me and we gazed in each other's eyes and I knew. She wanted to end this... she was ready to leave. Years before I had been in that back room of the emergency vet hospital with Millie Mousie but in that case Millie was not ready to go, so we did everything we could to help her survive (and she did), this was different. I realized that Z had been suffering long enough, she had just hidden it from me...and she had had enough.<br /><br />I spent some time with her on my lap in a quiet room, and then the vet kindly and sympathetically came in and helped her slip away from us.<br /><br />I've been a mess since and I am not over the grief yet, I've ceased my regular internet participation on the various Savannah email lists and I've holed up at home with the rest of the kitties. I still expect to see my Z around the house, and things keep reminding me of her. Missy has been disconsolate, she's been crying and searching the house for her sister. Baz has been needy of everyone, they all of course know how heartbroken I am. My poor husband, JN, was overseas on business so had to deal from a distance and I know it was hard on him. Z was one of those extra-special ones. I love all my pets dearly, but some worm their way deeper into your heart. Z and Missy are MY cats, they chose me. Z was special from the start, so sweet and maybe that was a sign that she was simply an angel.<br /><br />Then the vet called to let me know that the tissue samples were PCR positive for FIP. It was a small relief to have it confirmed that way because I had been playing that "what if" game of guilt. FIP is a cruel disease, it affects cats of all breeds including those of mixed heritage. I'd always hated the disease, and known that one day it would affect me, it seems to hit every breeder at some stage in some way whether one of their kittens or a kitten they bring into their cattery.

Basically they are a can of compressed air with a little motion detector fastened on top, it detects any motion within a yard of the can and then spurts out a little spray of air suddenly. Cats hate the sound but of course it is not harmful.<br /><br />I put these out on both sides of my little alcove so that it basically protects that corner of the room, I put them out for a few days with just an empty corner of room so that the kitties start to learn to avoid that part of the room. Then I bring out the tree, I only have an artificial tree as I've always thought that a REAL tree would be way too tempting. It's a nice one and looks pretty realistic though and tricks most folk that come to visit us. I put that up and leave that for a few days before I think put the ornaments on...so a gradual process rather than all at once.<br /><br />It is important to have the motion detector things with their rear side against a wall, so that the cats cannot creep up on them and slap them over, they'd like to do that. If they can't do that, then they never seem to get close enough from the front to do that before it squirts air and them and they run away.<br /><br />This is my experience to date, of course this year we have a new batch of kittens that have not seen the tree before and they just might be the ones to break the system! It's safer to say "yet" than "never" when it comes to these clever troublemakers, LOL!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SxWzIuE2foI/AAAAAAAAACk/of6teVLmJ8c/s1600/Dec20-07-tree.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 257px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SxWzIuE2foI/AAAAAAAAACk/of6teVLmJ8c/s400/Dec20-07-tree.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410427489744223874" border="0" /></a>Dukie checking out the tree carefully...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SxWzJLPbDoI/AAAAAAAAACs/uBHFzuaD7lk/s1600/Dec20-07-creeping.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SxWzJLPbDoI/AAAAAAAAACs/uBHFzuaD7lk/s400/Dec20-07-creeping.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410427497573191298" border="0" /></a>Trying to creep up on the the detectors...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SxWzJQpiQwI/AAAAAAAAAC0/qhXuEOHrQ_4/s1600/Dec20-07-fleeing-scene.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SxWzJQpiQwI/AAAAAAAAAC0/qhXuEOHrQ_4/s400/Dec20-07-fleeing-scene.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410427499024892674" border="0" /></a><br />BUSTED!!!!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12815953153819593814noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387996310002314313.post-41666014294579806982009-11-02T19:17:00.000-08:002009-11-02T19:19:29.462-08:00Candy and Lalara in their Christmas dresses<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/Su-g8PY1rPI/AAAAAAAAACc/VAQLjupNJS4/s1600-h/Nov01-09-lara-candy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/Su-g8PY1rPI/AAAAAAAAACc/VAQLjupNJS4/s400/Nov01-09-lara-candy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399711435023822066" border="0" /></a>We just had too much fun with the kittens, dressing them in pretty Christmas costumes and snapping away.

If I don't tidy up, I come into my office where they are living to chewed up papers... definitely "my kittens ate my homework" kinda stuff :-)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12815953153819593814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387996310002314313.post-60298015017414611972009-08-30T23:20:00.000-07:002009-08-30T23:23:20.215-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SptsC637GFI/AAAAAAAAABE/wsGYEwzSv7A/s1600-h/Aug24-09-lap-trio-faces.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SptsC637GFI/AAAAAAAAABE/wsGYEwzSv7A/s400/Aug24-09-lap-trio-faces.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376009377616173138" border="0" /></a><br />Here's three of Kiki's babies. At the back is the girl we are keeping, she needs a name soon! then there's the dark boy whom is just my little love right now. And in the front is the complete charmer, he's going to live in San Diego and already has stolen his new mommy's heart. A wonderful litter of kittens, they are just joys to be raising!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12815953153819593814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387996310002314313.post-47677943617372175592009-08-30T23:17:00.000-07:002009-08-30T23:19:26.482-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SptrBrJoKzI/AAAAAAAAAA0/BrS43qcDMQA/s1600-h/Aug24-09-dark-boy-lap-belly.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SptrBrJoKzI/AAAAAAAAAA0/BrS43qcDMQA/s400/Aug24-09-dark-boy-lap-belly.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376008256703966002" border="0" /></a>This little boy of Kiki's is completely ridiculous...so very confident of his appeal! He and his brother are immediately asking for my lap the moment I am in the room, their sisters always follow but the boys are complete lovers.

Poor Kiki!<br /><br />At four weeks of age, they have left their birthing crate and are not looking back. They've discovered toys, wrestling and chewing on fingers... they think humans are great jungle gyms. Kiki is ready to have a nervous breakdown but they are ready to take on the world :-)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12815953153819593814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387996310002314313.post-76194985033302015502009-08-14T23:53:00.000-07:002009-08-14T23:57:08.968-07:00Also in Cat Fancy...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SoZbnLHkkEI/AAAAAAAAAAU/fozWVNr94hc/s1600-h/Jul06-09-cat-fancy-pic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 223px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DxzStnUp_f4/SoZbnLHkkEI/AAAAAAAAAAU/fozWVNr94hc/s400/Jul06-09-cat-fancy-pic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370080334243467330" border="0" /></a><br />Imagine our surprise to not only have our precious Daffy featured on the cover of the Cat Fancy magazine, and see her in the article AND the centerfold, but turn that page and there is yet another familiar kitty face!<br /><br />Dino is our new SBT Savannah stud.

I knew that cat, it was one of mine!<br /><br />Daffy was a special kitten, when she was born we intended to keep her and show her. But at her first show, she was too young for the ring but we had her in the benching cages to get used to the show hall atmosphere... Jamie Christian came up saying how he wanted a Savannah to show. He is a very persuasive man! Before I knew it, I'd agreed to let him take her home. He was on the other side of the country (Ohio to my California) and he showed a lot. It was a great opportunity to continue promoting the Savannah breed. But we missed our Daffy girl, she was full of personality!<br /><br />Every time I'd visit her at a show she'd be loving on me...and the judges...and everyone. Christian insists that she loved him best and I know he was right. He'd say how she was the only cat he'd ever had that danced on her hindlegs to greet him every night at the door... what a cat! Daffy charmed judges and exhibitors, I'd meet folk in California at shows that were introduced to Savannahs by Daffy and I was so proud.<br /><br />Sadly, Kirembo Dafine Kike of Kingsransom is no longer with us. She tragically fell prey to an upper respiratory infection that progressed so quickly it was not able to be treated in time. She died way too early, and we grieve her still. For her to be immortalized on the cover of Cat Fancy magazine (and centerfold too!) was very special to us all. Daffy was a wonderful Ambassador for the Savannah Breed.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12815953153819593814noreply@blogger.com0
