Savannah Genetics – How We Came Up with the Name Genetics

Savannah Cat Breeders – To understand how we arrived at the name “Savannah Genetics,” we need to go back a bit. Back then, while I was working in field service, I encountered Bengal cats in a household. At that time, this breed was completely new to me, and I was immediately fascinated. When I told my brother about it, we started researching together.

The Fascination with Savannah Cats

We came across the term “hybrid cats” and began exploring it in more detail. During this research, we discovered the Savannah cat and instantly fell in love with it. It quickly became clear: we wanted to have Savannah cats and maybe even breed them ourselves.

The search for a competent breeder

The search for a competent breeder was not easy. We were looking for someone who not only had expertise in the breed but also an understanding of the diversity of genetics. After months of searching, we finally found our head breeder and biologist, who not only advised us but also made use of our skills as web developers.

The importance of genetics and breed standards

It quickly became clear that in our breeding we had to pay attention to the genetics, the breed standard, and the character of the animals. Everything had to be precise, from the parent cats to the offspring. Particularly important was the inheritance of good genes, especially regarding size, the anatomy of a serval, as well as markings and coat color.

The origins of Savannah Genetics

After a period of waiting and much patience, we finally founded Savannah Genetics. Our goal was to organize the breeding in a way that allowed us to make optimal use of genetics. We learned that a breeding female should have no more than three litters. We kept a female if she looked more typical than her parents and resembled the serval more closely. The mother was spayed to relieve her, and we imported a new Savannah stud male to bring in fresh blood.

Savannah Genetics - A Success Story

After ten years, we can clearly see significant successes. Our breeding management has always emphasized that a proper implementation of breeding principles and careful attention to genetics results in F5 SBT Savannah cats looking better than F1 Savannahs, while still growing large.
