 The Bengal is a relatively new hybrid breed of cat, formed by the cross of a domestic feline and an Asian Leopard Cat ("ALC"). Bengal cats have "wild-looking" markings, such as large spots, rosettes, and a light/white belly, and a body structure reminiscent of the Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis bengalensis). The Bengal cat has a desirable "wild" appearance with a gentle domestic cat temperament, provided it is separated by at least three generations from the original crossing between a domestic feline and an Asian Leopard Cat. The name Bengal cat was derived from the taxonomic name of the Asian Leopard Cat (P. b. bengalensis), and not from the unrelated Bengal tiger. See Bengal for more. |
 Dogs have been in our world for hundreds of years since domestication. We have offered our homes, love and care as well as intervention (Breeding) to creat these lovable species. Dogs evolved from wolves and were domesticated over years ago which started of with dogs coming into contact with people as they began to associate people with mice rodents amongst hay grass and crops. People took advantage of the dogs' skills of hunting pest rodents like mice and used them as a source of vermin control. Today, dogs have since then evolved from hunting in packs to eating from a bowl. Dogs may have undergone domestication, but wild instinct still runs in them today and as we play with them, the wild senses of a wolf. See Dogs for more. |

 The Beagle is a breed of small to medium-sized dog. A member of the Hound Group, it is similar in appearance to the Foxhound but smaller, with shorter legs and longer, softer ears. Beagles are scent hounds, developed primarily for tracking hares, rabbits, and other games. They have a keen sense of smell and tracking instinct that sees them employed as detection dogs for prohibited agricultural imports and foodstuffs in quarantine around the world. They are popular as pets because of their size, even temper, and lack of inherited health problems. These characteristics also make them the dog of choice for animal testing. See Beagle for more. |
