What is flagged on this tree

1. Ermine trace Osborn. The prefix entire, and it spans three breeds. Seventy-one animals: British shorthair, British longhair and scottish fold, one cattery. The scottish fold cats are the point: Ermine Trace Felicita Fantina, Henrietta, Jonathan, Osborn, Queen Qona, Quesadilla, Yashma, Zima and Zarya carry SFS or SFL codes, and Azia Ermine trace, BLH ns 12 33 68, and Unreal Zouwu Ermine trace, BLH ny 11 68, carry the dominant eye code into the British longhair. A dominant blue eye variant established in one breed reaches another by exactly this route, inside one cattery and without any outcross being recorded as such. The whole prefix is entered, not only the coded cats, so that the coded animals have a denominator | settled on 14 SEPTEMBER 2026, he is a straight eared male, and what follows is what stood before that. The two documents disagreed on this cat's sex and on its breed code. This register holds Ermine Trace Osborn as SFS ny 12 33 71, female. The Woollyrays Iya stud book sheet gives ch Ermine trace Osborn, scs ny 12 33, in the sire position above Daria Ermine Trace. SFS is a fold and SCS is a straight, and the sheet also drops the 71. Both readings were recorded and neither preferred until the ruling below. S_SCOTTISH_243 | the sex is settled and he is male. A breeder post of 12 September 2021 announces a kitten and writes 'F: Ch. Osborn Ermine Trace', F being the father. That is the second source to place him as a sire, the first being the WoollyRays Iya stud book sheet, which puts him in the sire position above Daria Ermine Trace. The Pawpeds cattery listing, which gives him as female, is the outlier and is not taken. That listing carries no parents and no pedigree for any of its seventy-one animals. The breed code is not settled and three documents give three readings: sfs on the PawPeds listing, SCS on the stud book sheet and SFT in the post. SFS is a Scottish Fold and SCS a Scottish Straight, and a cat is one or the other. The code remains open. S_OSBORN_258 | the breed code is now settled and he is straight eared. Sft denotes a scottish fold straight, a straight-eared cat out of fold breeding, and it is sometimes filed under sfs, which is how the PawPeds cattery listing came to carry him as a fold. The post and the stud book sheet therefore agree: sft and SCS are both straight. The listing is the outlier on the ear as it was on the sex. He is a scottish straight male and the record is corrected. The mating that produced Wendy was fold to straight, which is what the breed's rules require, and the fold-to-fold reading is withdrawn. S_OSBORN_258
2. Wendy Ermine trace. Both parents are written with a scottish fold code in the post that announces her. The sire is given SFT ny 12 33 and the dam SFS ny 11, and SFS is the Scottish Fold shorthair. The fold mutation is dominant and every cat carrying it has osteochondrodysplasia; two copies produce severe skeletal disease, which is why fold to fold is prohibited in the registries that recognise the breed. Whether this was such a mating turns entirely on what sft denotes, and this register does not know. The stud book sheet gives the same sire as scs, a straight, in which case it was not. The reading is recorded and not resolved. S_OSBORN_258 | the fold to fold reading is withdrawn. SFT on her sire denotes a Scottish Fold Straight, a straight-eared cat out of fold breeding, so her sire was straight and her dam a fold. That is fold to straight, the mating the breed's rules require, and nothing about this litter is irregular. S_OSBORN_258

A flag is not an error. It marks a place where two sources say different things, or where an attribution cannot be made on the evidence held.

black golden; shell or tipped, shaded; Not recognised by this survey: sfs (?)

The description held

No eye code and the eyes are green in the photograph that accompanies the post, so nothing about the dominant blue eye is established on her and no variant is adopted. The code is written with the cattery's own query in it, sfs ny 12 (?) 11, and is carried across as written. S_OSBORN_258 | she is the fold in the litter, coded SFS, and she takes the fold from her dam. S_OSBORN_258

Note

The code and the description do not use the same words for this coat. Both are recorded and neither is reconciled to the other.

This directory is a working aid compiled from published charts, registry documents and breeder statements. It is not a register and it has no standing of any kind. The grade attaches to the animal, not to the line: a cat whose ancestor was genotyped is line-traced, not genotyped.
