After seeing this breed in person a little while back, I'm really leaning towards purchasing one. They are really rather stunning, and think it would be great to have one as a pet. I've done a little bit of reading about them, have a few questions.
1) Everything I've read basically says that the Bengal is just a housecat with the look of a ALC. They are very friendly, and love other cats to play with (I already have two tabbies). Is all of this basically true? Are there any other notable good or bad behavioral traits? How are they with small children, I think I'm probably going to have kids in a few years.
2) Are they a healthy breed?
3) A bengal that would be suitable for a pet would be anything higher than F4, or including F4?
4) I have no idea where to get one. Obviously there are a million breeders, but how do I pick one? Anyone have any recomendations?
