Hi! I'm from Argentina and going to buy a bengal kitten, it's normal or ok the color of his hands/paws? The pictures are with 6 weeks.

Looks perfectly fine to me. They look are light brown shades which fade in color gradually near the end of the paws, which is common among Bengals. They'll soon turned darker as they grow bigger.

Those common unacceptable white paws type are with whole paws/lower leg whitened like wearing pure-white socks or being abruptly bleached LOL, normally due to poor bloodlines/mix Bengals. E.g.

It is difficult to tell from the pictures if the paws are actually white. A purebred bengal has no white on it. White indicates a cross mix. The kittens obviously have bengal in them. There is always the chance of mutation. Can the breeder provide registration papers on the parents?

I do not see any white on the paws in the video. This kitten looks like a purebred bengal to me. The breeder should give you registration papers so you can register your baby, especially being one of the best breeders in Argentina.

Beautiful, just beautiful. If you can get the pedigreed names of the parents, I can see if I have them in my database of bengal cats. If I don't, maybe I can do some research on them.

It's rare that I would have any bengals from Argentina in my DB. I do have some Planeta Bengals. Agatha Bengals' website only has first names of their cats which may not be pedigreed names. The breeder may have certified pedigrees for the parents. Most will lead back to cats that I do have in my database. Their studs and dams are beautiful, so the kittens are as well.

Both mom and baby are beautiful!!! Currently, I've put their cats in my DB as Sonoman Of Agatha Bengals. A prefix of Agatha would mean they bred Sonoman. Regardless, if you ever get a pedigree for Simba, I can add the registration numbers and birthdates.
