So there have been a few topics that mention Bengals and as I don't know
that much about them, I did some research. I found the info below explaining
the "F" classification but it raised a question that maybe someone has an
answer to.
Do breeders still created F1's? I would think if the breed was established
enough they wouldn't have to but from what I'm reading (and maybe I'm
interpreting it wrong) it seems that they are still available.
Anyway, I know, kinda wierd question. If anyone has an answer I'd appreciate
it.. :)

"Bengal cats are the descendants of a cross between an Asian Leopard Cat and
a domestic cat, originally Egyptian Maus, Abyssians or Ocicats amongst
others. A first generation cross is called an F1. An F2 is the progeny of
one F1 parent and one domestic parent (usually a Bengal these days), and an
F3 has one F2 parent and one domestic parent. F1 males are usually sterile,
and F2 and F3 males also often have fertility problems. The early stages of
breeding programmes are therefore usually carried by crossing female Asian
Leopard Cat hybrids with male domestic cats. The fourth generation removed
from the wild and beyond can be considered a domestic animal, and is
officially a Bengal, rather than a Leopard Cat hybrid."
"The Bengal Cat Club recommends that would-be purchasers of F1, F2, and F3
Bengals should not do so without taking full advice from an experienced
Bengal breeder.:
