Arst Venezia

prefix Arst · Maine Coon · both eyes blue · No variant and no line attributed · also in its ancestry: DBE-RE, Pillowtalk-Foreigner

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 164p. A carrier with no result of its own and one identified variant standing above 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. Arst Venezia, MCO ns 09 68
2. Arst Bombshell, MCO ns 09 11 68, the sire of Arst Venezia
3. BigBoots Coco Chanel, entered from the BigBoots list..., MCO f 09 69, the dam of Arst Bombshell
4. Joyfield's Avril, MCO fs 09 68, the dam of BigBoots Coco Chanel, entered from the BigBoots list...
5. Rociri Elvis, MCO e 09 68, the sire of Joyfield's Avril. DBE-RE, adopted by this survey; a founder of this survey

That is 4 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.

What is flagged on this tree

1. ROCIRI ELVIS, GIVEN ON THE PEDIGREE AS ROCIRI'S ELVIS. HIS OWN SHEET, AND WHAT IS AND IS NOT ON IT. THIRTY ANCESTORS, ALL THIRTY UNIQUE, FOUR COMPLETE GENERATIONS, INBREEDING 0.0 PER CENT. THE 68 ON HIM IS THE ONLY 68 ON THE WHOLE DOCUMENT AND THE ONLY EYE CODE OF ANY KIND ON IT IS THE 63 ON JUSTCOONS HA SHISCH, MCO w 63, A DOMINANT WHITE ODD-EYED CAT IN THE THIRD GENERATION. His grandsire Mainefield's Oye Como Va is MCO w, also white, and carries no eye code. NO OTHER ANIMAL ON THE SHEET CARRIES AN EYE CODE AT ALL. THAT IS THE WHOLE OF THE EVIDENCE ABOVE HIM: two white cats, one of them odd-eyed, and twenty-eight animals with nothing recorded about their eyes. In a white cat an eye cannot be read either way, so the sheet neither supplies a source for his 68 nor rules one out, WHICH IS WHY THE PUBLISHED TRACE ABOVE HIM RUNS THROUGH WHITE CATS AND GOES COLD THERE
2. JOYFIELD'S AVRIL. CODED 68 BY PAWPEDS AND MCO fs 09 BY FELIS DANICA. She stands as the dam on the Felis Danica record for BigBoots Pommeline, where she is given as '17.MCO3131.3 Joyfield's Avril MCO fs 09'. The 68 is on the PawPeds pedigree and not on the Danish one. SHE IS ONE OF THE TWO DAUGHTERS THROUGH WHICH ROCIRI'S ELVIS REACHES THE BIGBOOTS PREFIX | ON THE GENOTYPED BIGBOOTS DESCENT. This animal stands in the dam line of BelleAyr Pluto, who is genotyped DBE-RE, between Joyfield's Avril and BigBoots Belle Azure. FOUR CONSECUTIVE GENERATIONS CODED 68 ENDING IN A TESTED CAT, which is the strongest support this register holds for reading the BigBoots 68 as one variant descending from Rociri's Elvis | SHE IS WHERE THE 68 AND THE 69 AND THE GENOTYPE ALL MEET. She is coded 68 and out of Rociri's Elvis, coded 68. HER DAUGHTER BIGBOOTS COCO CHANEL IS CODED 69 BY A SIRE WITH NO CODE ANYWHERE ON HIS SIDE. HER OTHER DESCENT, THROUGH BIGBOOTS DIRTY DODGE AND BIGBOOTS BIG T AND BIGBOOTS BELLE AZURE, ENDS IN BELLEAYR PLUTO, GENOTYPED DBE-RE. One dam, a 69 on one branch and a laboratory-confirmed DBE-RE on the other
3. BIGBOOTS COCO CHANEL, ENTERED FROM THE BIGBOOTS LISTING AS BIGBOOTS COCO CHANEL. A 69 OUT OF A 68 WITH THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PEDIGREE FULLY DOCUMENTED AND CARRYING NOTHING. Her dam is JOYFIELD'S AVRIL, MCO fs 09 68, out of ROCIRI'S ELVIS, MCO e 09 68. HER SIRE IS IRAKLI BLACK KING, MCO as 03, WITH NO EYE CODE, AND NEITHER DO ANY OF THE FOURTEEN ANCESTORS RECORDED ABOVE HIM: Afonya Coon Evro MCO ns, Bericoon Mountain Grasses Palmira MCO g 03, Maksim Airish Coon MCO es, Afonya Coon Clubnika MCO f, Freeclimber Maurinho Jose MCO as, MagdeburgTigers Ginger Ale MCO gs 09 22, and the eight above them. THE SHEET IS COMPLETE, THIRTY OF THIRTY, ALL UNIQUE, INBREEDING 0.0 PER CENT, AND THE ONLY TWO EYE CODES ON IT ARE THE TWO 68s ON HER DAM SIDE. THE 69 ON HER CANNOT BE ATTRIBUTED TO A SECOND VARIANT ENTERING THROUGH THE SIRE BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ON THE SIRE'S SIDE FOR IT TO HAVE COME FROM. This was Tier A item one on the look-up list and the sheet answers it | THE LOOP CLOSES ON JOYFIELD'S AVRIL. She is Coco Chanel's dam AND the great-great-granddam of BELLEAYR PLUTO, who is GENOTYPED DBE-RE. ONE DAM THROWS THE 69 ON THIS SHEET AND A TESTED CAT ON THE OTHER BRANCH, so the 69 and the confirmed DBE-RE descend from the same animal | AND THE 68 COMES BACK OUT BELOW HER: her son ARST BOMBSHELL is MCO ns 09 11 68 and her granddaughter ARST VENEZIA is MCO ns 09 68. 68, 69, 68, 68 down one descent with one source
4. ARST BOMBSHELL. A 69 ARISING INSIDE A SINGLE-SOURCE LINE, WITH 68 COMING BACK OUT OF IT. On this sheet the descent runs ROCIRI'S ELVIS, MCO e 09 68, to JOYFIELD'S AVRIL, MCO fs 09 68, to BIGBOOTS COCO CHANEL, MCO f 09 69, to ARST BOMBSHELL, MCO ns 09 11 68, to ARST VENEZIA, MCO ns 09 68. FIVE GENERATIONS, AND THE CODE GOES 68, 68, 69, 68, 68. THERE IS NO SECOND SOURCE IN THIS PEDIGREE: Coco Chanel's sire Irakli Black King is MCO as 03 with no eye code, and no animal on his side carries one either. A SINGLE VARIANT SEGREGATING IN ONE LINE IS THEREFORE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE BOTH CODES, and no merge is needed to explain them appearing together. THIS DOES NOT PROVE EVERY 68 AND 69 IN THIS REGISTER ARE ONE THING, because other lines are not this line, and NOTHING IN THIS PEDIGREE HAS BEEN GENOTYPED
5. ARST VENEZIA. A 69 ARISING INSIDE A SINGLE-SOURCE LINE, WITH 68 COMING BACK OUT OF IT. On this sheet the descent runs ROCIRI'S ELVIS, MCO e 09 68, to JOYFIELD'S AVRIL, MCO fs 09 68, to BIGBOOTS COCO CHANEL, MCO f 09 69, to ARST BOMBSHELL, MCO ns 09 11 68, to ARST VENEZIA, MCO ns 09 68. FIVE GENERATIONS, AND THE CODE GOES 68, 68, 69, 68, 68. THERE IS NO SECOND SOURCE IN THIS PEDIGREE: Coco Chanel's sire Irakli Black King is MCO as 03 with no eye code, and no animal on his side carries one either. A SINGLE VARIANT SEGREGATING IN ONE LINE IS THEREFORE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE BOTH CODES, and no merge is needed to explain them appearing together. THIS DOES NOT PROVE EVERY 68 AND 69 IN THIS REGISTER ARE ONE THING, because other lines are not this line, and NOTHING IN THIS PEDIGREE HAS BEEN GENOTYPED

• Parents: Arst Bombshell, Arst Iris

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.
