HI! and Congratulations!
You have just entered the world of Bengal ADDICTION (smile)
I don't know who the breeder is, and that is immaterial to my comments.
These kittens have BEAUTIFUL colors, and their patterns are to DIE for! Obviously the darker boy has the FLASHY high contrast open rosettes which will only become more beautiful and striking, as he matures.
I would expect the lighter girl, to get a little darker too, and the difference in their color and patterns will be a DELIGHT, also, as they mature.
My "sister" pair look so much alike, I sometimes have a hard time telling them apart, even at 3 years old, unless they are looking directly at me. (one has a pinker nose, while the other has a dark nose) While my "brother/sister" pair look VERY different both in coloring, pattern, their HEADS, and the way they carry themselves. (Their gait when they walk, run or jump, is even different.)
The kittens you are getting LOOK healthy with good bone structure and nice coats. And they appear very playful. Get them a climbing tree and lots of toys! (Particularly interactive toys, so you can join in their games, which will help them bond to you more quickly.)
You will be SO GLAD you got a sibling pair. (I have two sibling pairs, amid my mid-size PET ZOO) They do tend to stay bonded, throughout their lives, and it is wonderful to watch their interaction both in play and their love for one another. And, if you have other cats, the siblings will usually watch out for one another.
In the "head shot" of the boy, the ONLY mildly negative comment I might have, is that his ears are a little big and pointy -- but CERTAINLY not enough to detract from his overall beauty. He does have very good face pattern, and great whisker pads and chin (this should MORE than outweigh the slightly large ears, even if you choose to show them.
Since I have one F1 boy, I now tend to LOOK for the more rounded, smaller ears.
They both have nice thick tails, wonderfully random patterns and pretty faces.
The only other thing I really "watch" for, is the profile, which I can't see clearly in these photos. Normally the straighter the profile, the better, but that CAN be a matter of personal taste. I've seen many early generation Bengals with a little dip in the profile. (Even though my F1 boy has a board straight profile, which I personally like.)
As far as the PRICE you paid for these kittens... you did VERY WELL !!! The breeder could probably have gotten between 1100 and 1700 for the ONE boy, with open rosettes, alone. And, if they had sold him as a breeder, possibly even MORE than 2000 for him, alone. And EASILY 700 or more, for the girl,
pet price.
You should HUG this breeder when you go to pick the kittens up. (smile)
I think you will be DELIGHTED with this pair, and they will give you great joy, for YEARS to come!
