line: Topaz foundation (C6 and C11) · one blue eye · Identified from descendants, never genotyped
Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161p. A carrier of a variant nobody has sequenced, on no named line. This is the group bare 161 exists for. 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.
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, Topaz foundation (C6 and C11), which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk; and no recorded parent at all, which is a gap in the sources and not a statement that the cat had none.
No parent is recorded for this cat in the register, so no genealogy can be drawn. That is a gap in the sources, not a statement that the cat had none. Any offspring the register holds are listed below.
C11 breeder-compiled genealogy, 'DBE HIGHLANDER', Olynx cattery, Canada. Full-resolution image supplied to this survey on 14 August 2026. CONFIRMED AND NAMED BY CHART C6, headed 'EARLY TOPAZ FAMILY TREE', tiles supplied 15 August 2026. C6 AND C11 DRAW THE SAME FOUNDATION: Ustinya, an Altai female, to Roksi of Kazakhstan, giving four premature kittens that did not survive; Roksi to the household pet female Marta of Ukraine, giving Dirka, Seimur and Firka; then Dirka to Seimur and Seimur to Firka, two matings of full siblings at the foundation of the breed. C6 CARRIES PHOTOGRAPHS OF EVERY NAMED CAT. Roksi is drawn with two blue eyes, Marta with two orange, Seimur with two blue, and Dirka and Firka each with one amber and one blue. Belyashik is photographed as a WHITE CAT. TWO THINGS FOLLOW. FIRST, THESE RECORDS ARE THE TOPAZ FOUNDATION AND ARE FILED HERE UNDER THE HIGHLANDER LINE, because the survey entered them from C11 before C6 was read; the line name is the chart they came from and not the programme they belong to. SECOND, C6 AGREES WITH THE MAINE COON GENEALOGY ON SEIMUR'S PARENTAGE: the Roksi to Marta bar drops to DIRKA and FIRKA only, and SEIMUR is drawn out of PUSHOK by ELIZA between them. Roksi and Seimur are therefore two unrelated founders on this chart as on every other, and the Topaz was founded on two males of separate origin. C6 also gives LAZULI, a tabby out of Roksi by a female drawn only as '??', and KAENA, black smoke with a white locket and TWO GREEN EYES, both annotated 'Registered as European / XSH'. GIOIA, black silver blotched tabby with two blue eyes, went to a Persian cattery in France and was mated to the black Persian YLANG YLANG on 22 May 2017, giving NYX, NAIA, NUGGETS, CALIN, NIAGARA FALLS and NINJA. FILED UNDER THE TOPAZ FOUNDATION. Transcribed from chart C11, the Highlander genealogy, which draws the Topaz foundation across its top because the Highlander descends from it; confirmed by chart C6, the Topaz Foundation Family Tree. The previous line name on this record was Highlander, Olynx (C11)
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.
