SNOW SPOTTED BENGAL ADULT
1ST CC & BOB BENNETT’S AFFECTIONATE MOONSTONE (76a 30) F 17.04.08
A young aoc-eyed girl of only 9 months but well-grown and a good weight for her size. Head a medium wedge, longer than wide, it could do with a little more width and hopefully this will improve as she matures but she does have a typical Bengal look. Rounded contours to the head, deep concave curve to the profile, level bite but her chin falls away a little. Well-set ears that are not too large or tall. Large expressive eyes of lovely shape & set and a good greeny colour. Long muscular body with limbs & tail to balance. Soft coat but it could be denser & more luxurious, clearly spotted with brown markings on a tan base. Good head markings with clear pencilling on the cheeks. Complex scarab marking, broken spine line, spotted tummy & ringed tail with a dark tip. A quiet girl with a gentle nature though she was feeling the cold first thing in the morning.
