I feel that so many people in Bengals are not true breeders, they do not even purport to be. They buy cats breed them together sell the kittens for as much as possible and move onto the next cats, therefore "new for 2012" listing all new cats is common.
I agree the internet has had a big impact, it has opened the door to what other breeders are doing and has made popular lines available to everyone. Just about all breeders can import cats from the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, Malaysia, Australia etc, but instead of opening up pedigrees with new lines, it appears to have constricted the gene pool, as everyone clamours for the same popular lines. So the cats may be new, but just about all are just a different mix of the same "wow" cats. Instead of breeders sticking with cats who they know breed well and are healthy with great temperaments, they throw it all away in the race for "showing" perfection by merely buying what they need from another cattery. Instead of using that potential and gene pool to further their own cats they again ditch it when they see another cat that has another "wow" trait. To some showing is more about personal glory than showing off what they can breed themselves. They can now buy that glory quite easily by hunting the internet.
Of course some of those with popular "wow" cats, will sell kittens knowing that they carry or even have all sorts of faults, the same faults that their parents have but no-one says anything. These faults may not be apparent till the new owner breeds them or the kittens grow up, and often kittens produced will again be sold on to another unsuspecting breeder. All in all it makes for unhealthiness, increased chance of infection and poor temperament in the breed.
Culling, by that I mean removing and not killing, is essential if the breed progresses healthily. A true breeder has to be ruthless and only chooses the best to breed with. Too often cats with problems, ie poor mothering, medical diseases, poor mobility, pyometra, poor fertility, etc are allowed to breed, some of these end up being at the head of a dynasties of "wow" cats, but all that does is store up problems for pet owners, other breeders and most importantly for the cats themselves.
I think it is the culture of Bengal breeding, little mentoring, little thought regarding "who am I selling this breeding cat to", and little responsibility taken as no personal line to protect. "How would I know, as I didn't breed the parents!" The internet has also done its bit as many feel that they need little mentoring as they know all about it, by reading on the internet. Thus some of the hands on experience is lacking. I am not saying older breeders know everything either, some have based their whole careers on hearsay and things they have heard at shows so are totally unreliable too.
