CLEAR ALLThe Bengal is a medium to large domestic cat well-known for its luxurious, highly contrasted coat of bright spots and unique marbling. The breeds’ popularity has soared in recent years due to its wild appearance and active, fun-loving personality. Bengals are the only domestic cat breed with rosettes similar to the markings on leopards, jaguars, and ocelots, and are now considered to be one of the most popular short-haired breeds in the world.
Bengal cats are known to be curious, confident, and devoted companions. As an incredibly athletic breed, Bengals love to keep active and enjoy being involved in everyday family life. They maintain this kitten-like energy and attitude until their senior years, so you need to ensure you have the space and commitment to cater to their needs throughout their lives. These affectionate cats love to engage in play with their owners, learn new tricks, and can quickly pick up the rules of the house if they are taught using positive reinforcement methods. Bengals are known to be incredibly vocal cats and will happily meow or chirrup when they want something!
This breed is not considered to be your typical lap cat. Whilst they will curl up with you on occasion, you are more likely to see them chasing, climbing, investigating, and playing. Their cuddle time is usually when they sleep. Bengal cats also love to climb and view the world from high vantage points. So, you will often see them on bookshelves, high desks, and atop your doors.
As highly intelligent cats, Bengals can be trained to perform numerous tricks such as playing fetch, walking on a harness and lead, and learning to sit on command.
Bengal cats are loyal, loving, and can quickly become an integral part of any family, even with children and other animals. However, a few of the Bengal cat's wild instincts have been retained, including their love of water. For this reason, Bengal cat owners are encouraged to keep their toilet seats closed but don’t be surprised if you then find your Bengal trying to drink from a tap! You will probably also find that your Bengal enjoys watching you brush your teeth, and may even join you in the shower!
These playful cats must not be left at home unaccompanied for long periods. They do well with another cat or a small dog to keep them company, as long as they have been introduced properly.

The Bengal is perhaps one of the most stunning cat breeds on the planet! They are incredibly athletic and agile, with long muscular bodies, a thick tapered tail, and large rounded paws. On average they can weigh anywhere between 4.5-7kg, with males being significantly larger than females. Their heads are triangular-shaped and slightly longer than they are wide. Their ears are relatively short and round, sitting far apart on the head, and their eyes are large and round.
The most distinct feature of the Bengal breed is its beautiful marbled or spotted coat. To date, the Bengal is the only domestic breed to display these patterns, which often resemble those of wild cats including the ocelot, jaguar, and leopard. Brown Bengals with spotted coats are the most common variety. These cats have small to medium sized spots throughout their coat, often forming rosette shapes. They can also come in marbled patterns of dark swirls and horizontal lines that run down the body in two or more tonal colours. Aside from the traditional light to dark brown variety, Bengals also come in silver, and three ‘snow’ colours; Seal Sepia, Seal Lynx, and Seal Mink Point. The snow varieties will have blue or green eyes, whereas the other colours will have green, brown, or gold eyes.
Bengals are highly active and inquisitive cats so you will need to ensure you provide them with plenty of opportunities to exercise and climb. A bored Bengal is often a destructive Bengal so it is a good idea to invest in a couple of cat trees or shelves for your cat to explore and view the world from a high vantage point. They are an incredibly affection breed that loves to be involved in all aspects of family life. Due to their high intelligence, these cats can be taught new tricks with ease!
Unlike other cat breeds, Bengals are very fond of water. You will often find one batting at the water coming out of your kitchen tap, or even joining you in the shower! They are very vocal cats and have no issues following you around the house, chirruping and miaowing, whenever they want something!
Bengals are known to be great with children and dogs, however, you should still supervise any interactions just to be safe. As incredibly energetic cats, Bengals need plenty of space to run around, jump, climb, and play so they are not best suited to small apartments. You can also take your Bengal out for walks as long as he has been lead trained from a young age.
Bengals are very social animals so they don’t like to be left alone for long periods. For this reason, they are best suited to a home where someone is around most of the time, or where there are other animals to play with. Always bear in mind that Bengal's have a high prey drive so should never be left alone with small pets such as hamsters, gerbils, or guinea pigs as they may view them as food. Bengals can get along with other cats, however, they are known to be very territorial so always ensure any introductions are done slowly over the course of a few weeks.

Jack
Miniature Dachshund
One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!

Athena
Chihuahua
It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena.
