What does it mean ad SBV on pedigree cert?
SBT is usual but SBV for bengal cat?
Is she still considered 4th gen bengal?

SBV means that she has crosses outside the breed within 3 generations in her pedigree within the permissible group of outcrosses. She would have to be SBV as a G4, as F1, G2, and typically G3 male Bengals are infertile.

From TICA

Cats carrying a full three generation pedigree, which are the product of two or more members of a breed group will be designated by the SBV (variant) prefix, whereas cats with only a single breed within a standard three generation pedigree will be designated by the prefix SBT.
