“Purrrfectly Wild About You!”™

Summermist Bengal Cats was founded by Sheila and John Fowler as a natural progression from their phenomenally successful Summermist Standard Poodles.

Since our initiation into Bengal Cats in 2001, Summermist Bengal Cats has come a long way.  So, as we approach our sixth year breeding and showing Bengal Cats, we feel it is time to look back on how we did and where we are going.

First, our philosophy in breeding always places our animals first in everything we do.  No show is so important that we risk the health of our animals or anyone else’s to attend.  At home, our cats always come first for food, cleaning, health, love and attention.  We work closely with Southern California’s finest veterinarians to provide our cats with the finest in health care.  All of our kittens are checked by our local veterinarian to assure every kitten has the healthiest of starts with their new owners.

From 2001 to 2005, we learned about raising Bengal Cats, how the show process works and met many new friends and acquaintances.  Along the way we completed the following significant accomplishments:

·        Eligible for the TICA Top Producing Dam Award for
     Summermist Sunshine who produced 7 Supreme Grand
     Champions in a single year. 

·        Achievement of Double Grand Champion (DGC) for Belara
     Ducati of Summermist, “Ducati” in the 2004 show season.

·        Achievement of the top Bengal in the Great Lakes Region for
     RW SGC Wildlove Quatro Diablo (“Pizza”).

·        Achievement of Quad Grand Champion for “Pizza”.

·        Achievement of Supreme Grand Champion for SGC
     Summermist Command Purrrformance (“Perry”).

·        Achievement of the 8^th Best Bengal in the World for “Perry”.

·        Achievement of 16^th in the Southwest Region for “Perry”.

·        Achievement of the number two Bengal in the Southwest Region for “Perry”.

·        Achievement of SGC for “Perry” in seven show weekends within a time span of 5 months from start at 8 months of age to SGC at age 13 months – a very significant achievement indeed!

·        On May 29, 2007, Summermist started our newest adventure with the acquisition of Callista Purrriceless of Summermist, “Jewel”, our first F1.

These achievements were accompanied by many bumps and potholes in the road to success, but we have persevered to stay on the course of success.

With 38 years of breeding experience, Sheila and John are well qualified to continue learning the genetics and breed type of the Bengal Cat.  Breed type is the description of a breed’s distinguishing features – those features that set one breed apart from any other.  To this end, we are still learning and probably will as long as we breed.   

We are dedicated to excellence in breeding and showing superb Bengal Cat type and loveable purrrsonalities.

Socialized under foot in our loving home with our Standard Poodles.

Members in good standing with TIBCS and TICA and signatory to TICA’s voluntary code of ethics.

With over 50 AKC Standard Poodle champions to their credit (most of them owner bred, trained and shown), the challenges of breeding and showing are well understood.

And finally, we are the breeders of the 2003 Grand Champion Scottsdale Arabian Halter Mare.
