HP Savannah Cats are Savannah cats with a high percentage of African Serval blood in their lineage. It is important to note that the information provided here is based on our opinion and aligns with commonly accepted standards and definitions among Savannah breeders.
The percentage mentioned in the description of a Savannah Cat represents an estimated percentage of African Serval blood in that particular Savannah. However, due to the limitations of genetic testing and the complexity of determining exact percentages, most percentages provided are hypothetical estimates rather than verified authenticity. It's crucial to ensure that the breeder is not intentionally misleading about the percentage.
When a breeder informs you about the percentage of their Savannah Cat or kittens, it may not be entirely accurate as it relies on their estimation. The only breeding scenario where the Serval percentage is definitively known is when a Serval is directly bred with a domestic cat, resulting in 50% Serval and 50% domestic cat offspring.
The term "HP" (high percentage) Savannah Cat refers to Savannah cats with the highest amount of wild African Serval blood. Typically, the highest Serval blood percentage is found in the F1 Savannah generation, followed by the F2 Savannah generation. The term "HP Savannah" primarily applies to the F1, F2, and HP F3 generations.
It's worth noting that different breeders may have their own interpretations of the term "HP Savannah" and may use it to label their cats even if they don't strictly adhere to the standard definition. This doesn't necessarily make them wrong, but it signifies a difference in interpretation.
To meet the criteria of an "HP Savannah," breeders should specifically breed an F1 or F2 Savannah with a Serval to achieve the highest amount of Serval blood in a Savannah cat. However, this pairing is rare and challenging due to fertility issues, and it is primarily done for selling cats as pets rather than contributing to the future of the breed.
In summary, the term "HP Savannah Cats" applies to kittens born from specific pairings:
F1 kittens born from an HP F1 Savannah queen.
F1 kittens born from an HP F2 Savannah queen.
F1 kittens born from an HP F3 Savannah queen.
F2 kittens born from an F1 Savannah queen that was born from an F1 Savannah queen.
F2 kittens born from an F1 Savannah queen that was born from an F2 Savannah queen.
F3 kittens born from an HP F2 Savannah queen.
