Hi!

My name is Katelyn, and I am the proud owner of a beautiful almost 17 week old male Great Dane pup named Apollo. I would like to buy a Bengal kitten some time in the near future, however, I would like to ensure I do not make the same mistake I made with my pup, and buy from a BYB.

I do not know much about Bengals, however, from my research, I have found a Bengal would suit me and my lifestyle nicely.

Anyway, happy to be here!

:biggrin:

Welcome to this forum. Spend some time reading through the various sections and topics. You'll learn a lot about the bengal breed and a lot of your questions will be answered. Of course, feel free to ask any questions. There are a lot of good breeders of bengals. I'm sure your puppy keeps you quite busy at the moment. Add a hyper bengal kitten to the mix -- and your live could be topsy turvy. Ha ha.

Finding a reputable breeder and making good purchase decisions for your Bengal are just one part of your equation. Proper introductions of your puppy and kitten are another. We have a great dane that lives next door. Occasionally he visits us when we are working outside. On a few occasions, he has come over and played with our Samoyed while in our fenced back yard while we sat out on our deck with his owners. Hank is a huge, rambunctious 1 1/2 year old. When I have Quasar on a leash, on my lap, while we sit outside, Hank will come and investigate. I have never seen any sign of aggression from him toward our cat, just curiosity. Quasar lets him sniff and drool on him, while I hold him. If Hank tries to jump or gets too active with Quasar, Quasar will hiss and pat him on the snout.

Long story shorter....I think a Great Dane is probably a good match for a Bengal.

Most recently, I was working in my basement and heard Hank barking outside. He was playing at the window with Quasar who was stretching in the window, in front of Hank's face. They were touching noses through the basement window. It was so cute to see. Of course, Quasar would probably not have been so confident had there been no barrier between them. :rolleyes:

When we introduced Quasar to Kyenta, our Samoyed, K-dog was already several years old, not a pup. Good luck with your new puppy. I'm certain you will garner some good advice here from people who have done puppy to kitten intros.

Hello and welcome! I am on the opposite side of you, I have two bengals and am waiting on my dane! With Bengals its pretty much the same as what dol suggest for dane breeders. You have to find a reputable breeder that keeps their animals in a healthy and safe environment AND most importantly that they health screen. HCM is prominent in the breed so you will want to find a breeder that takes their cats to a cardiologist yearly for an ultrasound of their heart. Another health concern would be pk-def, this test is a one time test and the results will never change. You wil find many many breeders but unfortunately most of them are BYB. With danes you will find reputable breeders breed for the whole package, but with bengal breeders some have specific goals for their cattery. Some breed for a typey cat with the right head shape and put colors/markings on the back burner. Some breed specifically for marbles and only have an occasional spotted/rosetted kitten available. Its a matter of finding what you want in cat and then finding the breeder that matches what youre looking for. Just keep in mind that bengals are like puppies that never grow up :mrgreen: they constantly want attention and are very active cats, they dont just lay around like normal cats and sleep 23 hours a day. They can be in your face all the time, however the bright side of the situation will be bengals usually tolerate and bond with dogs. They can play together and keep each other company when you are away.

Welcome!

We've got 2 Danes and just got our first Bengal in February. We do have other cats in the home as well so our dogs were already used to having kitties around. It took our Bengal a couple of months to get used to the dogs, mostly because they are so large, but he adores them now. When we come home from work we are greeted by our "3 dogs" because Diesel is right there with the Danes to say hi.
