9th MARCH 2009.
Tino had a very successful show this weekend (7th & 8th March 2009) at the OneForAll TICA Cat Show in Brigg, Lincolnshire, by winning 9/10 Rings (1st Colour, 1st Division, 1st Best of Breed every time) and went on to achieve 9 FINALS!
TINO'S RESULTS (12th April 2009):
Tino was the baby of the group when competing against 23 other brown (some Titled) Bengal adults this weekend and also (some Titled) super silvers and snows. There was actually an average of around 50 adult Allbreed cats (TBC) that he competed against each time he Finaled.
He was just entering into the Adult section at 8 months of age at this show and even though he was the youngest of all the Bengals, he managed to attain the titles of CHAMPION and GRAND CHAMPION on Saturday. On Sunday he managed to gain enough Points and Finals to obtain the title of "DOUBLE GRAND CHAMPION" (WOW)!!
As TINO was competing against more mature cats (many with SUPREME GRAND CHAMPION titles)... we are absolutely over the moon that he could still hold his own against the more mature 'Top Dogs' at such a tender young age. We feel sure there must be more to come with our TINO, so do keep checking back for show results and details.

Just take a look at this boy. He is one that we nearly sold...Oops! Thankfully he is still with us, and will be staying here now so that we can capture his wonderful profile and head/overall type in a kitten or two from him sometime in the not too distant future.
Do take a look at his MORE PHOTO'S where you can see his lovely straight profile and tiny rounded, well-set ears as well as his fabulous coat and pattern.
Tino has the best profile and smallest ears that we have ever seen on a Bengal. He has a straight profile with broad nose, a strong broad muzzle, puffy whisker-pads and a good deep chin. He reminds me so much of his great grand-sire 'Wurthy' (Stonehenge Wurthawate of Snopride/Jungle Jem)...and this boy also has a very strong chin and fabulous glitter on a soft, dense, golden pelt. Tino's background colour is pale golden and the rosettes are black outlined, with red centres but no overall rufousing. He has a good tail, quite thick and even, with a rounded tip and clear patterning including rosettes. Tino is a large, chunky, deep bodied boy with very good bone and substance and is a very lively, confident and affectionate lad with a perfect temperament.

PREVIOUS SHOW RESULTS:
15th December 2008. Tino attended the SpoTICAt Cat Show in Coventry (13th/14th December 2008) There was a very good entry of 21 Bengal kittens on Saturday and 19 on Sunday, and a grand total of 63 allbreed kittens in attendance!
We are thrilled to announce that Tino Finaled in 8 Rings and was BEST IN SHOW SHORTHAIR KITTEN. This was a great result as it was Tino's very first show and he is still very much a baby at just 4 months old and was one of the youngest kittens in the show.

After just the one very successful TICA show (see above), Suntouched Santino stands in the TOP 10 BENGAL KITTENS IN NORTHERN EUROPE!

SHOW NEWS:
18th JANUARY Congratulations to Tino for achieving the following at the RagtimeTICA Cat Show on 17th / 18th January 2009 at Wood Green Animal Shelter, Godmanchester, Cambridge.

1st BEST COLOUR X 8 TIMES
1st BEST DIVISION X 8 TIMES
1st BEST OF BREED X 8 TIMES
9 X FINALS!

Tino went on to Final no less than 9 times out of a possible 12, and was overall BEST IN SHOW SHORTHAIR KITTEN, (for the second time).....so we were absolutely blown away! Well done Tino!

RESULTS 26th April 2009
Tino has returned from his second TICA adult show, where he was (again) the very youngest of them all (up to about 25 Bengals) at 8 months old. He won/was placed in 10/12 Rings and now has the title of TRIPLE GRAND CHAMPION! Well done Tino!
We would also like to say how proud we are of his 1/2 sister Anya, who also titled on the weekend (details on Queens page).

SHOW NEWS (January 2012)
Our home-bred boy Suntouched Akule is currently standing as NUMBER 1 Brown Spotted Bengal kitten in Western Europe! Way to go Akule!

This is our home bred boy Akule, a sweet lad with a very wild look. He has a very puffy nose leather like the Asian Leopard Cat, and still has light patches (ocelli) on the backs of his ears. This is a trait that he may not keep, but he also has a white tummy which we hope he will keep because his sire has a white tummy and the gene is carried on the dam's side too.

Akule has a delightful temperament, just like his mum RW SGC SUNTOUCHED ANYA, who can be seen on our Bengal Queens page. He has the same funny & sweet personality, confidence and loving, purry nature. These are all traits we want to produce in our Bengals, as well as a healthy, show quality cat that is a credit to both ourselves and the breed.

We hope he will go on the gain titles as an adult in the show ring and follow in the very successful paw-steps of his mum Anya and both grand-parents.

Akule will stay with us for a while so we can enjoy him for him, enjoy showing him and also hopefully enjoy a litter or two from him later on.

Introducing Santorino, AKA 'Teddy'.
This boy was the smallest in the litter, but turned out to be a real stunner once he caught his siblings up. He is now a large sturdy boy and looks very similar to his daddy Tino.

We took Teddy to a few shows as a kitten and he got lots of finals, but he didn't take to the show scene at all. He is a shy boy with a really sweet temperament so we decided to retire him from the show ring when he was a very young adult of just 9 months.

As well as gaining finals as a kitten, Teddy also managed to gain the title of CHAMPION quite easily when he became an adult, despite his shyness.
We hope to find Teddy a girlfriend before he gets neutered and homed as a pet, as we think he is too good not to breed, though we will be happy to see him in a quiet pet home where he will feel relaxed.

(NOT YET BRED)

Here we have another home bred titled potential stud cat.

Chester has attended just one TICA show as an adult and he came home a Champion! He behaved impeccably and made us very proud.

We hope Chester will stay with us long enough for us to get a litter or two from him before he is homed as a pet. He is such a sweet and gentle boy he really ought to be spending his life as someone's much-loved lapcat.
