How this cat is connected to the trait

No recorded parent link joins this cat to a founder or to a tested animal. What the record rests on instead is the line recorded on it, Nadeya, which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk; and a variant a source attributes to it, DBE-ALT, which this survey does not adopt.

What the pedigree implies

Possible carrier by descent. the Igor line, PAX3, allele not published, through Jaki Ami Sissy Crazy Blue, Leonardo De Cassis; the Nadeya line, DBE-NAD, though no traced descent from the genotyped founder reaches this cat, through CH Carajan zur Sternebucht, CH Dellary's Exoti Merlin, CH Du Blue D'or Argentin Nuance's Golden

This is computed from the recorded parentage each time this site is built and is not typed into the register. It is a deduction from the trait being dominant, not a statement by any source, and it is not the same thing as the record's own status field. Only a laboratory settles it for an individual. The full list is on latent lines.

What is flagged on this tree

1. Ermine trace Xerxes. 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
2. Ermine trace Qorall. The highest coefficients of inbreeding in this register, and the doubled cat carries no eye code. Smile Ermine Trace returns 25.0 PER cent on twenty-two unique ancestors of thirty, and Tanatos Ermine Trace returns 20.3 PER cent on nineteen of thirty. In both cases Ermine trace Qorall, BSH ny 12, stands twice: he is the sire of Smile and also the sire of Smile's dam Zarafina, which is a father to daughter mating; and he is the sire of Tanatos's sire Xrustal AND the sire of Tanatos's dam Zarafina, which makes those two half-siblings. Ermine trace Nadeya, the founder, also stands twice on the Tanatos sheet. The register records this as a fact about the matings and not as a judgement. What it shows is that the coded cats of this line are being produced by doubling back onto the line, which is what a breeder does to fix a trait, and that the animal doubled is one that carries no eye code at all

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.

In the register

• Parents: Ermine Trace Qorall, Ermine Trace Jeana
• Offspring recorded in this register; a cat may have others: Ermine Trace Lemniscata

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.
