Lyn Keevers of Benzots Cattery

N/A, California

Jun 02, 2010 Bad Bengal breeders lets name names by: I know a new Bengal breeder and after lots of research she bought a male so called proven Bengal stud from Lyn Keevers this cat has not sired any litters whilst with her,she has spent too much money at the vets on testing,fertility treatment etc and the vet has stated the cat is infertile for numerous reasons.after contacting Lyn Keevers from BENZOTS she was told, "welcome to the world of breeding" and offered no support, no replacement and no reimbursement.Is this really how established so called ethical breeders mentor new breeders? No this is how shifty money hungry breeders shaft their dud cats onto new unsuspecting novice breeders as a way to get rid of their problem and make a fast buck.

Hi everybody,

Firstly I am very sad and disappointed by this message posted as a Scam. The Scam message is full of lies and slander.

Secondly I wish to set the record straight and reply to the coward who could not sign their name and who also have not got their facts correct.

I sold a proven bengal stud Leopardspotsuk Hudson Hawk (Imp USA) to Athalie Schillings, Ashmiyah Bengals, Adelaide on 22nd June 2009 for $1500.00 and a proven queen Benzots Lacey Cleo (parents two UK imports) for $1500.00. Neither bengals were on medication as both very happy and healthy.

Within a very short space of time I was notified by Athalie that Hudson and Cleo had spent quality time together. Hudson x Cleo gave Athalie her first Ashmiyah Bengal litter approximately late September or early October 2009.

Hudson x Cleo had another litter 18th January 2010 and than Hudson x Cleo had a third litter on 22nd May 2010. Hudson x Wontok Maddies Pride had a kitten on 9th November 2009.

I received an email from Athalie on 24th March 2010 to say that? He (meaning Hudson) began having libido issues back in early September last year?

To cut a long story short Hudson had sired two litters here for Benzots Bengals. His first litter of 6 kittens born 6th May 2008 was to Korshki Nessie Lives at Benzots (Imp Scotland). Hudson's second litter born 19th March 2009 was to BZ DB GD CH Korshki Silver Illusion aka Eve (Imp Scotland).

As you have just read Hudson has sired 6 litters. I was not notified until March 2010 that Hudson had problems and I feel that I do not have a right to replace or reimburse. Hudson did more than his fair share and kittens were sold from $900.00. I have not received or sighted a Vet certificate/letter as to Hudson's condition. Hudson has since been desexed.

As to "welcome to the real world of breeding" has been taken out of context. Following is part of the email that I had replied to Athalie on 25th March 2010.

"You may think that I brushed you off but I did not Athalie. I was shocked and very sad for you and Hudson when I received your email as I have not heard from you for months.

I did sell to you in good faith and you bought in good faith and there is always hiccups along the way Athalie. If at any time I thought Hudson was not well he would not have been sold and you know that. At least you have had a number of kittens from Hudson. I could understand you being upset and angry and rude if Hudson had not sired any kittens but he has done more than enough for your Cattery. Welcome to the real world of breeding Athalie. Owning a bengal is not all about breeding and showing, it is about the love for our Bengal breed."

Also I am far from being a shifty money hungry breeder trying to make a fast buck.

I am a very ethical and responsible breeder and I am more than proud of Benzots Bengals.

At least now Hudson is in a very loving home. The new male human owner contacted me re Hudson's background and thanked me for a wonderful bengal :-)

Sincerely
Mrs Lyn Keevers
