I
have been breeding pedigree Bengals in North Shropshire for seven years. I aim to produce kittens of the highest quality who are healthy, happy and love human company. All my kittens are reared indoors with lots of love and affection. All are GCCF registered. I show my cats regularly and am dedicated to improving the breed. We are members of the Bengal Cat, Club, the Ocicat and Bengal Cat Club and the Bengal Cat Club of Great Britain. My prefix was chosen in honour of my ten year old non-pedigree tabby, Toby - a top show cat in his own right - and friend and mentor to many generations of Tobysden kittens.
We occasionally have friendly well socialised kittens available to loving permanent homes.
KITTENS AVAILABLE 7/2/08 Sorry we have no kittens at present. Other planned matings for near future are: Ch. Llandar Sabu x

SHOW NEWS
BENGAL CAT CLUB OF GREAT BRITAIN (TICA) MARCH MAD CATTER,S BALL - 8/3/08
This was a truly mad day for us as all three of our cats (Harley, Hully and Boo Boo) finalled and gained their first TICA titles. It was such a fun day so have done a separate page with all the news and photos.
COVENTRY AND LEICESTER CC 23/2/08
This was just one of those amazing days you normally only dream about!! Harley, Balou and Rosie Posie all had red card days. Harley and Balou were both Best of Breed and Balou also won his first Grand Challenge Certificate. Rosie Posie won her Ultimate Mastercat class and proudly collected her Mastercat certificate and medal for achieving the title in 2007. She was also the overall Royal Canin heat winner. Not to be outdone by his sister, Toby also won his UMC class - he also won this in 2007 so has now achieved the title held by only two other cats of "Ultimate Mastercat".
Pr. Tobysden Balou now has his own website with lots of gorgeous photos - do click on the link and pay it a visit.
SHROPSHIRE CC - 2/2/08
Harley (Starwinds Noir Diamond) really excelled himself this time - after winning Best of Breed and Best Foreign Kitten he went on to be Best of Variety Foreign Exhibit. He amused himself during the final Best in Show judging by "killing" a piece of plastic tie wrap he found under his cushion - he did not win BIS but at least he made the audience laugh!!

SHORT HAIRED CAT SOCIETY - 5/1/08
We had a great start to the year with darling Harley (Starwinds Noir Diamond) winning Best of Breed and going on to be Best in Show Foreign Kitten. He also won 4 miscellaneous classes. Tobysden Fantasia and Tobysden Balou also did well winning their Opens and several other classes.

NATIONAL CC - 8/12/07
Tobysden Balou with fur growing back nicely fully made up for missing his class at the Supreme by winning his 3rd Premier Certificate and Best of Breed. He is the second Tobysden GCCF premier having just been beaten to it by brother Hully at the Supreme! Congratulations to Richard and Alex.
Premier Tobysden Balou loves the high life!
SUPREME 2007- 17/11/07
Congratulations to Tobysden Hullaballoo and Tobysden Affectionate Anya who both won their classes. Hully won his third premier certificate to become the first Tobysden GCCF premier.
Congratulations also to Tobysden Balou and his dad Richard Crutchley who won the judges choice class in the decorated pen competition with a very impressive impersonation of Top Cat. This was a great consolation to us as Balou could not compete against his brother Hully due to breaking his leg 5 weeks ago and still having rather a shaved leg!
Our sweet little T. Chiquitita did well to be 2nd and dear old Toby put on his usual impeccable performance to be 3rd in a strong class of top tabby household pets. Many congratulations to his old rival Charlie Symonds who won the class and went on to be Supreme Household Pet
