Since I am writing this, I will mention that Saiph got Best of Breed in Robert Thompson's ring, but he didn't final any Bengals. Darn! Someone had sponsored for each ring Best Bengal and Best Kitten, but it doesn't say who. Saiph did receive the special rosette, and to whoever donated them, a big THANKS! I just wish you were given credit for your special gift to those of us who received your rosettes.

If I missed any babies that made the finals, please forgive this ex-blonde. I did leave a bit early to try and beat the traffic. It didn't work! For all of the Bengal breeders who were represented at this show, my hat's off to you all! What great babies you are breeding, and you get my special thanks to you all for letting me be a part of this wonderful breed. Would I be biased to say the best breed?! Nah!
