GoldenBengals is a yahoogroup celebrating the awesome,breathtakingly beautiful "Golden" colored BST or BMT Bengal cat that is derived only from a Silver parent ,or from a silver-derived "Golden" parentage.Hallmarks of the "Golden" Bengal are: non-fading spots,a "float" effect to the pattern, and extreme contrast.Current hypothesis is leaning towards the probability that a broken hairshaft core (derived from a hollow core as found in the silvers) may hold the key to unravelling the Golden coloring in the Bengal Breed.
The Bengal Cat has always been a "Designer" Breed-with the surprise/unexpected appearance on the scene of the Goldens,produced by accident in the course of breeding to Silvers ,a new Era in Designer Bengals is emerging.
