oh, I wanted to add
with ANY purebred cat, the most important thing to do is find a breeder you trust and who raises the kittens IN THE HOME.
Bengals especially I found were often being mass-produced and held in pens. These animals I can't imagine get properly socialized to humans.
We found a small breeder who's kittens were born and raised in her home with human contact. We met her adult cats and checked for termperament. We also confirmed that she was active in an outbreeding program where she would travel with her dams or host visiting males from all over the country. This ensured inbreeding was minimized.
