Igor

British Shorthair · line: Igor · both eyes blue · Published line, tested against the known variants and carrying none

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161 x1p. A carrier of a variant nobody has sequenced, on a line this proposal gives a suffix to. 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

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, Igor, 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.

What is flagged

1. IGOR. Duplicate. THE SAME ANIMAL IS HELD MORE THAN ONCE IN THIS REGISTER. The fuller record is igo-01, Igor Azure Dream, which carries his offspring. IDENTIFIED BY PARENTAGE AND NOT BY NAME: the Sunshine Colour chart draws Igor over Onyx Magic Smile producing Amur Dream and Chilly Aquamarine Azure Dream, and igo-01 was already held with those same two cats out of that same queen. Same mate, same offspring, both founders with no parent recorded. This record is kept so the source it came from can still be audited
2. IGOR. Eye and coat, THE STRONGEST EXCLUSION THIS REGISTER CAN MAKE FROM A CODE. This cat is blue-eyed in both eyes and its recorded coat carries NO WHITE SPOTTING CODE AT ALL, is not dominant white and is not colourpointed. NOTHING IN THE COAT CAN PALE AN IRIS. A dominant blue eye is present and it is not the KIT odd-eye case and not the white-cat case. Its registry has entered no dominant eye code on it. WHICH VARIANT IS NOT DEDUCIBLE FROM A COAT CODE and none is adopted: a genotype or a trace to a named founder would name it.

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.

The description held

marked on the chart as an Altai gene male with the compiler's own query. The published genotyping records that the Igor lineage shares no variant with the Altai or Roxi lineages, so the variant in this line is not identified

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.

Evidence grade

Line-traced descent from a named founder is stated by the source

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.
