Here in the foot hills of the Ozarks we are currently breeding

F2, F5 & F6 Savannahs.

What are the Generation Numbers?

The "F" factor.

Savannahs are classed by generational numbers specifying how many generations they are removed form the African Serval ancestry.

F1= Serval parent & Savannah Parent

Creating kittens around 63%- 80% Serval.

F2= Serval is Grandparent to Kitten

Creating around 25% to 37.5% Serval

F3= Great Grand Parent is a Serval

Creating around12.5% Serval.

And So on.

That said, there is no know testing to determine the exact amount of Serval genetics passed to the kittens. The percentages above are researched estimations.
