› Our newest stud, SGC (Supreme Grand Champion) TheRealms Brissinger of Peñasquitos just completed his first show as an adult (8 months old). This was a "Title Match" show with special congresses making a total possibility of 13 "finals." Amazingly Brissinger won 11 of the 13, including Bengal - best cat, Mild and Wild - 2nd best cat, Tabby Congress 4th best cat. Judges award - best tail, judges award - best pattern, judges award - best eyes and best of all the Jean Mill Visionary Award for the male bengal with the most points at the show.

Brissinger, means fire, made double grand champion in his first show, triple grand champion in his 2nd show and quadruple grand champion in his third show. On March 20th we will take him to Phoenix where hopefully he will make Supreme grand champion in only 4 shows. He needs a best cat and 1,190 point to supreme..

This is the first cat we have had go past champion, so to go all the way to double grand champion in one show just "blew us away."

Don Wright-breeder: “Brissinger is the winningest cat we have ever produced, and I only wonder what he would have accomplished if he had been born at a different time, allowing us to show him for the full season as an adult. Something we can only imagine. (His first adult show was Jan 30th so in 50 days, 4 shows, he made Supreme Grand Champion and is only 613 points behind the #1 Bengal in the region. If he scores more than 613 points in his next show, his last show in the calendar year, he will be the #1 bengal in the SW region.)

“Alex, says he is stunning. Candy cried when she presented Briss to the crowd. Sandi said Briss is the prettiest bengal she has seen. I am thrilled to hear these people say what they do about Brissinger. I have been on a high for the past few months, and always tell myself not to expect to win like we have. Each show is different. But when Briss constantly exceeds those expectations, you have to pull me off the ceiling. Saturday was so great, Sandi saying that the top four cats in her finals ring had all been “best cat” before and they represented the best of that breed in her mind, and to put Briss up not once but twice over those same three cats, and also to Supreme him, I didn't think I could get any more of a rush. Until the last ring on Saturday when Candy cried presenting him saying that Briss was just Marvelous.”

At an earlier show a judge said if she were starting a bengal breeding program SGC Brissinger is the male she would want. After finals guests at the show often stop us and ask for his picture. Some will see him on the show table and exclaim, Oh Wow! After years of struggling to get 1 or 2 finals at a show I watch SGC Brissinger get 11 finals of 13 in Arcadia (1/30-31/10), then 8 finals of 16 in Las Vegas, 4 finals of 10 in Arcadia (2/20-21/10) and 10 finals of 16 in Phoenix, including a total of 9 “best cat” awards of 33 finals in 4 shows.

Suzanne and I are so grateful to Don and Lydia Wright, TheRealmsBengals.com, for making Brissinger available to us.

Feel free to make an appointment to visit the kittens most anytime.
