San Diego Savannahs does concentrate on the markings, features, and temperaments of this magnificent cat.Īs you will see in our kittens, San Diego Savannahs focuses on producing Savannahs with an inky spotted pattern, because this is the only pattern accepted by the TICA breed standard. I do breed my F3 female with a large male to ensure a decent size to carry on the desired breed characteristics. San Diego Savannahs does not breed for size, nor can I guarantee size. F3 generations on down usually weigh 7-15 pounds, although my F3 male Odysseus seems to weigh a lot more! Size can vary significantly from one litter to another. They can weigh 8-20 pounds but do appear larger than they actually weigh. F1 and F2 generations are the largest, with males being larger than females. One of the wildest features of this cat are the black “tear-streak” or “cheetah tear” markings that run from the corner of the eyes down the sides of their face.Įveryone always asks about size! Don’t worry I did when I first started researching the breed. This hybrid has a shorter tail, black rings and a solid black tip. It’s a central light band bordered by black, grey, or brown coloring giving it an eye-like effect. The back of their ears still carries the ocelli marking. In the earlier generations, the head stands tall with a long, slender neck. Their hooded eyes, various color of vivid markings, and the way they walk like a wild cat are just the beginning to why people are so attracted to this breed. Their wide, rounded and erect ears are one of my favorite features. No matter the size of each generation of Savannah, their tall and lengthy legs and stature make them appear to be larger and heavier than they really are. Before I even owned my first Savannah, I fell in love with the look and markings of this hybrid cat. Savannahs are so sought after for their exotic look they get from the serval.
