Blue Ridge H'Lotus Prince

prefix Blue Ridge · Maine Coon · line: Blue Eyed Maine Coons (Markiss) · both eyes blue · Variant known, this cat untested · also in its ancestry: DBE-ALT, DBE-CEL

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 162|163p. A carrier with no result of its own and more than one identified variant above it. One test resolves it. The proposal is set out in full here, and no registry issues this field today: it is computed from the record at each build and is not part of any registration.

How this cat is connected to the trait

1. Blue Ridge H'Lotus Prince, MCO ds 09 25 68 94
2. Blue Ridge Odyssey, XLH ds 09 68, the sire of Blue Ridge H'Lotus Prince
3. Blue Ridge David, XLH e 09 68, the sire of Blue Ridge Odyssey
4. Blue Ridge Charizard, XLH n 09 68, the sire of Blue Ridge David
5. Blue Ridge Tamara, XLH n 09 68, the dam of Blue Ridge Charizard
6. Nikita'l Markiss [Cherkassy, UA], XLH ns 03 68, the sire of Blue Ridge Tamara
7. Nikita'l Seymour, XSH ns 03 23 68, the sire of Nikita'l Markiss [Cherkassy, UA]. DBE-ALT, adopted by this survey; a founder of this survey

That is 6 recorded parent links, and the animal at the end of it carries a variant this survey has adopted, but has not itself been tested. Every step is a parent recorded in this register from a document; none of them is an assumption. The full genealogy is drawn below, and the sources for each animal are on its own page.

More than one variant could be present in this cat

DBE-ALT and DBE-CEL. MORE THAN ONE VARIANT COULD BE PRESENT IN THIS CAT: DBE-ALT, DBE-CEL. It is not established that any of them is, and it is not established that two are. A dominant allele comes from a parent, and this cat's recorded ancestry carries an attribution of each. The attributions above it are on Nikita'l Seymour, Roxi. A CAT HOLDING TWO IS A COMPOUND HETEROZYGOTE, which this survey records as the state associated with deaf and dead kittens, and NOTHING BUT A TEST DISTINGUISHES ONE FROM TWO.

Computed from the recorded parentage at every build, counting both the variants this survey adopts and the ones it records a source claiming and does not adopt. IT IS AN UPPER BOUND AND NOT A FINDING: it says what could be here, never what is.

What is flagged on this tree

1. BLUE RIDGE TAMARA. BLUE RIDGE TAMARA IS CONFIRMED BY A REGISTRY, AND SHE WAS THE LAST PEDIGREE THIS REGISTER WAS WAITING ON. Her descent from NIKITA'L MARKISS was held on a breeder-compiled chart only, and every Blue Ridge line running through her hung on that single unverified link. THE BLUE RIDGE QUASAR NEW SHEET PRINTS HER IN THE THIRD GENERATION AS XLH n 09 68, OUT OF NIKITA'L MARKISS [Cherkassy, UA], XLH ns 03 68, AND BIG KITTY HELLO KITTY, MCO n. A registry now says what the chart said | THE DESCENT BELOW HER IS FIVE GENERATIONS OF 68 WITH NOTHING COMING IN. Markiss 68, to Tamara 68, to BLUE RIDGE CHARIZARD XLH n 09 68, to BLUE RIDGE DAVID XLH e 09 68, to BLUE RIDGE QUASAR NEW XLH n 09 68 and BLUE RIDGE ODYSSEY XLH ds 09 68. EVERY DAM BROUGHT IN AGAINST THAT LINE CARRIES NO EYE CODE: Blue Ridge Oxxxymiron MCO n, Mainelynx Nesmeya MCO fs, Blue Ridge Yankee MCO n 09, Blue Ridge Quilty Girl MCO fs, and nothing above any of them. THE QUASAR NEW SHEET RETURNS THIRTY UNIQUE ANCESTORS OF THIRTY AT 0.0 PER CENT, so this is not a line doubled back on itself. IT IS ONE ALLELE TRAVELLING DOWN FIVE GENERATIONS OF OUTCROSSES
2. BLUE RIDGE CHARIZARD. BLUE RIDGE TAMARA IS CONFIRMED BY A REGISTRY, AND SHE WAS THE LAST PEDIGREE THIS REGISTER WAS WAITING ON. Her descent from NIKITA'L MARKISS was held on a breeder-compiled chart only, and every Blue Ridge line running through her hung on that single unverified link. THE BLUE RIDGE QUASAR NEW SHEET PRINTS HER IN THE THIRD GENERATION AS XLH n 09 68, OUT OF NIKITA'L MARKISS [Cherkassy, UA], XLH ns 03 68, AND BIG KITTY HELLO KITTY, MCO n. A registry now says what the chart said | THE DESCENT BELOW HER IS FIVE GENERATIONS OF 68 WITH NOTHING COMING IN. Markiss 68, to Tamara 68, to BLUE RIDGE CHARIZARD XLH n 09 68, to BLUE RIDGE DAVID XLH e 09 68, to BLUE RIDGE QUASAR NEW XLH n 09 68 and BLUE RIDGE ODYSSEY XLH ds 09 68. EVERY DAM BROUGHT IN AGAINST THAT LINE CARRIES NO EYE CODE: Blue Ridge Oxxxymiron MCO n, Mainelynx Nesmeya MCO fs, Blue Ridge Yankee MCO n 09, Blue Ridge Quilty Girl MCO fs, and nothing above any of them. THE QUASAR NEW SHEET RETURNS THIRTY UNIQUE ANCESTORS OF THIRTY AT 0.0 PER CENT, so this is not a line doubled back on itself. IT IS ONE ALLELE TRAVELLING DOWN FIVE GENERATIONS OF OUTCROSSES
3. MAINELYNX NORRIS. A BROTHER AND SISTER MATED IN THE NEXT GENERATION BUT ONE. He and Mainelynx Nesmeya are given the same two parents and the same date of birth on all five sheets, so they are littermates. His daughter Blue Ridge Quilty Girl was mated to her son Blue Ridge David, producing Blue Ridge Ocean Depths. THE DATABASE STILL REPORTS 0.0 PER CENT INBREEDING ON EVERY ONE OF THE FIVE SHEETS, because the shared ancestors fall outside the four-generation window the figure is computed over. A published coefficient is a statement about a window and not about an animal
4. BLUE RIDGE DAVID. BLUE RIDGE TAMARA IS CONFIRMED BY A REGISTRY, AND SHE WAS THE LAST PEDIGREE THIS REGISTER WAS WAITING ON. Her descent from NIKITA'L MARKISS was held on a breeder-compiled chart only, and every Blue Ridge line running through her hung on that single unverified link. THE BLUE RIDGE QUASAR NEW SHEET PRINTS HER IN THE THIRD GENERATION AS XLH n 09 68, OUT OF NIKITA'L MARKISS [Cherkassy, UA], XLH ns 03 68, AND BIG KITTY HELLO KITTY, MCO n. A registry now says what the chart said | THE DESCENT BELOW HER IS FIVE GENERATIONS OF 68 WITH NOTHING COMING IN. Markiss 68, to Tamara 68, to BLUE RIDGE CHARIZARD XLH n 09 68, to BLUE RIDGE DAVID XLH e 09 68, to BLUE RIDGE QUASAR NEW XLH n 09 68 and BLUE RIDGE ODYSSEY XLH ds 09 68. EVERY DAM BROUGHT IN AGAINST THAT LINE CARRIES NO EYE CODE: Blue Ridge Oxxxymiron MCO n, Mainelynx Nesmeya MCO fs, Blue Ridge Yankee MCO n 09, Blue Ridge Quilty Girl MCO fs, and nothing above any of them. THE QUASAR NEW SHEET RETURNS THIRTY UNIQUE ANCESTORS OF THIRTY AT 0.0 PER CENT, so this is not a line doubled back on itself. IT IS ONE ALLELE TRAVELLING DOWN FIVE GENERATIONS OF OUTCROSSES
5. BLUE RIDGE QUILTY GIRL. BLUE RIDGE URBAN HAS THREE SPLIT LITTERS BY THREE DIFFERENT DAMS, AND THAT IS A REPEATED CROSS. Out of BLUE RIDGE QUILTY GIRL, 22 June 2020: Gold Aquamarine XLH fs 68 and Grymza XLH fs 09 69. Out of BLUE RIDGE NANA, 24 October 2020: Young Maru XLH n 09 68 and Yoppie XLH ns 09 69. Out of BLUE RIDGE FENYA, 24 February 2021: GAVR XLH ns 25 68 AND GALAXY MCO ns 22 69. THREE MATINGS, THREE UNRELATED DAMS, AND EVERY LITTER CONTAINS ONE OF EACH CODE | TWO OF THE THREE DAMS SUPPLY NOTHING. Blue Ridge Quilty Girl is MCO fs and Blue Ridge Fenya is MCO fs 25, NEITHER CARRIES AN EYE CODE, and neither does any of the fourteen animals recorded above either of them: the Jordan Don Coon, Werona Irsaline, Mainelynx and Irsaline Afonya cats on Fenya's side are silent throughout. Only Nana is coded, at 69, and she is herself out of Nikita'l Markiss | THE SHEETS ARE CLEAN OUTCROSSES. Gavr and Galaxy each return THIRTY UNIQUE ANCESTORS OF THIRTY AT 0.0 PER CENT, so nothing here is the product of a line doubled back on itself. THE ONLY THING THE TWO KITTENS DIFFER IN THAT ANY DOCUMENT RECORDS IS THE NUMBER THE REGISTRY WROTE ON THEM | WHAT THAT ESTABLISHES. A single variant segregating from ONE SIRE produces both codes, and it has now done so three times in this cattery, once in the Nikita'l cattery by the founder himself, and once in the Ermine Trace cattery in a different breed. FIVE SPLIT LITTERS ACROSS THREE CATTERIES AND TWO BREEDS. This is the strongest pedigree evidence in the register on the question and only the BelleAyr genotypes outrank it, where three full sisters tested DBE-RE were coded 68, 69 and nothing at all
6. BLUE RIDGE ODYSSEY. BLUE RIDGE TAMARA IS CONFIRMED BY A REGISTRY, AND SHE WAS THE LAST PEDIGREE THIS REGISTER WAS WAITING ON. Her descent from NIKITA'L MARKISS was held on a breeder-compiled chart only, and every Blue Ridge line running through her hung on that single unverified link. THE BLUE RIDGE QUASAR NEW SHEET PRINTS HER IN THE THIRD GENERATION AS XLH n 09 68, OUT OF NIKITA'L MARKISS [Cherkassy, UA], XLH ns 03 68, AND BIG KITTY HELLO KITTY, MCO n. A registry now says what the chart said | THE DESCENT BELOW HER IS FIVE GENERATIONS OF 68 WITH NOTHING COMING IN. Markiss 68, to Tamara 68, to BLUE RIDGE CHARIZARD XLH n 09 68, to BLUE RIDGE DAVID XLH e 09 68, to BLUE RIDGE QUASAR NEW XLH n 09 68 and BLUE RIDGE ODYSSEY XLH ds 09 68. EVERY DAM BROUGHT IN AGAINST THAT LINE CARRIES NO EYE CODE: Blue Ridge Oxxxymiron MCO n, Mainelynx Nesmeya MCO fs, Blue Ridge Yankee MCO n 09, Blue Ridge Quilty Girl MCO fs, and nothing above any of them. THE QUASAR NEW SHEET RETURNS THIRTY UNIQUE ANCESTORS OF THIRTY AT 0.0 PER CENT, so this is not a line doubled back on itself. IT IS ONE ALLELE TRAVELLING DOWN FIVE GENERATIONS OF OUTCROSSES
7. BLUE RIDGE ODYSSEY. Sex. The field records male and the source's own wording reads female. The field wins on the page; the source has to be checked.
8. BLUE RIDGE H'LOTUS PRINCE. A FIFTH GENERATION OF 68 BELOW NIKITA'L MARKISS. The descent runs Markiss 68, to Blue Ridge Tamara 68, to Blue Ridge Charizard 68, to Blue Ridge David 68, to Blue Ridge Odyssey 68, to him. SIX GENERATIONS OF THE CODE AND EVERY DAM BROUGHT IN AGAINST IT CARRIES NOTHING | TWO DOMINANT WHITE CATS STAND ON HIS DAM'S SIDE, Alpinen Gold A'Aspirin MCO w 62 and Waldhuter Kalif MCO w 61. His dam Flipside Q'Nancy is MCO f 22 94 and NOT WHITE, so she does not carry W and the white cat's blue eye is not what came down. The mating had no effect on anything; it removes a reading in a white descendant, and there is no white descendant here

Maine Coon; red silver; unspecified amount of white, ticked tabby; dominant blue eyes, written in the 68 series; NOT RECOGNISED BY THIS SURVEY: 94

The description held

CODED 68 OUT OF A SIRE CODED 68 AND A DAM CODED NOT AT ALL. His dam Flipside Q'Nancy is MCO f 22 94 and NEITHER SHE NOR ANY OF THE FOURTEEN ANIMALS ABOVE HER CARRIES AN EYE CODE. The 94 on both of them is the recessive white-toe marking and has nothing to do with the eye
