Genealogy trace, one printable page carrying the proposed code

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 163t. A laboratory result on this animal. 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

A laboratory has tested this animal itself, so nothing has to be traced: the result is on the cat.

What is flagged on this tree

1. Wanessa Emerald Flower. Two sources disagree about her eye and the disagreement is load-bearing. This register holds her at BSH ny 12 61, a blue eye. The PawPeds sheet for her daughter Paula Emerald Flower gives her as BSH ny 12 with no eye code at all. Her daughter is coded 69 and her granddaughter is genotyped DBE^ALT, so whether the eye is recorded on her decides whether the trait appears at Paula or comes from above her. Neither reading is discarded | ruled on 13 SEPTEMBER 2026 and the Nadeya label is withdrawn, and the note that follows is what stood before the ruling. The chart draws this cat apart from the Ermine trace tree and the register labelled it Nadeya. Chart 'Blue-eyed silver and golden British Shorthairs', read 13 September 2026, sets two trees side by side under one title: the Ermine Trace line on the right, and on the left a separate group of blue-eyed silver and golden British cats running through Muslin Cats Patrick Peach, the GoldenBri cats and Sunduk's Silver Lolu, in which this cat sits. No line on the chart joins the two trees. The register's parent links agree: this cat's recorded ancestry does not reach Ermine Trace Nadeya. The Nadeya label on it therefore rests on the grouping and not on a descent, and now that the Ermine Trace line has a published allele the label carries more weight than it did when both were unidentified. The chart's own code reading is also recorded: it gives Wanessa as registered ny 12 61 and states it should be ny 12 60, with blue eyes and a red glow, and it marks Paula latent DBE. Awaiting the compiler's ruling. S_ERMINE_238 | she was the one cat in this register that showed the trait, was held under the Nadeya label, and did not descend from Nadeya. The label is now withdrawn, and with it the anomaly. She is BSH ny 12 61 out of a different cattery, and her daughter Paula Emerald Flower is held latent. The label is a chart attribution and not a pedigree. Three readings are open and the register prefers none: the pedigree link to this line exists and is not recorded here; the label is wrong and she carries something else; or she is an independent occurrence. She cannot be used as evidence that the determinant sits above the founder, because nothing places her below Teodoro or below Olwen either. Awaiting a ruling at that time. S_ABOVE_247 | the Nadeya label on this cat is withdrawn, 13 SEPTEMBER 2026, and her own pedigree is what withdraws it. The label came from a breeder-compiled chart. Her own four-generation sheet carries no Ermine trace cat anywhere on it: no Ermine Trace Nadeya, no CH Schoenweg Teodoro, no Ermine Trace Olwen, no Ermine Trace Kashemir. Twenty-eight ancestors, all twenty-eight unique, coefficient of inbreeding 0.0 per cent. Her sire is CH Quest GoldenBri and her dam Liverpool's Helga, and the lines above them are Muslin Cats, Sunnyplace, GoldenBri, Sundust's, Zur Sternenbucht, Alpari and Golden Eloso Risado. Not one animal on the sheet carries an eye code. The sheet also gives her own code as BSH ny 12 with no eye code, where the chart wrote 61, so the chart is the only source for the blue eye on her as well as for the line. Two names on her sheet do appear in the Ermine trace material, Vitma Belle Gold and Silver Angel's Jantar, both at the great-great-grandparent rank and both carrying no eye code. They are the ordinary foundation stock of the golden British and shared ancestry is not shared variant. Where she belongs instead: her daughter Paula Emerald Flower is coded 69 on the registry, and paula's grandson Topaz Zojka is genotyped DBE-ALT and heterozygous. A genotype outranks a chart. The branch is ALT material and not Nadeya material. S_WANESSA_252 | the two shared ancestors have now been checked and both are empty. Vitma Belle Gold and IC Silver Angel's Jantar are the only two animals appearing both on her sheet and in the Ermine Trace material. Their own pedigrees carry no eye code on any animal, forty ancestors between the two sheets, and neither reaches an Ermine Trace cat. The route by which the two groups touch is the golden British foundation stock of the Marvellous, Wahrberg, Goldenen Winkel and Eloso Risado lines, and it carries nothing. Shared ancestry is not shared variant and this is the worked case. S_SHARED_253 | the two groups do not meet by descent anywhere. Asked on 13 September 2026 whether any record in this register descends from both Ermine Trace Nadeya and a DBE-ALT cat, the answer is NONE. No DBE-ALT cat stands below Nadeya and none stands above her. There is therefore no date on which the ALT material enters the Ermine Trace genealogy, because it does not enter it. S_SHARED_253
2. Wanessa Emerald Flower. 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.
3. Paula Emerald Flower. Latency. Stated by a source, not demonstrated by a test. Latent is a claim that this cat carries a variant while showing no blue or odd eye, and here it rests on a breeder-compiled document rather than on a laboratory result. Three cats in this register are latent on a genotype: Belle Ayr Onyxx, DBE-ALT, and Robin and Rocky, both DBE-RE. This is not one of them | ruled on 13 SEPTEMBER 2026 and the Nadeya label is withdrawn, and what follows is what stood before the ruling. The chart draws this cat apart from the Ermine trace tree and the register labelled it Nadeya. Chart 'Blue-eyed silver and golden British Shorthairs', read 13 September 2026, sets two trees side by side under one title: the Ermine Trace line on the right, and on the left a separate group of blue-eyed silver and golden British cats running through Muslin Cats Patrick Peach, the GoldenBri cats and Sunduk's Silver Lolu, in which this cat sits. No line on the chart joins the two trees. The register's parent links agree: this cat's recorded ancestry does not reach Ermine Trace Nadeya. The Nadeya label on it therefore rests on the grouping and not on a descent, and now that the Ermine Trace line has a published allele the label carries more weight than it did when both were unidentified. The chart's own code reading is also recorded: it gives Wanessa as registered ny 12 61 and states it should be ny 12 60, with blue eyes and a red glow, and it marks Paula latent DBE. Awaiting the compiler's ruling. S_ERMINE_238 | the Nadeya label on this cat is withdrawn with her dam's, 13 SEPTEMBER 2026. Wanessa Emerald Flower's own four-generation sheet carries no Ermine Trace cat anywhere on it and no eye code on any animal, so nothing places this branch on the Nadeya line. What does place it: her own grandson Topaz Zojka is genotyped DBE-ALT and heterozygous, out of her daughter Yassminka. A genotype outranks a chart. Her 69 code stands, it is on the registry, and her latency stands with it. The branch is ALT material. S_WANESSA_252 | the genotyped cat is her own daughter and not her grandson. Yassminka Zojka, BRI ny 11 61, is out of her and is genotyped DBE-ALT. The register briefly recorded the genotype one generation further down, on Topaz Zojka, and the correction is made here. The ALT evidence is one step from her, which is why the ALT reading of this branch is the stronger one. S_SHARED_253

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

Genotyped DBE^ALT, heterozygous, written out by the laboratory as DBE Alt/n. Chocolate golden shell with blue eyes, carrying cinnamon, not carrying longhair and not carrying point, and PKD negative. The colourpoint allele is excluded by test and not by reading a code, which is what this register asks for wherever a pointing factor and a pale eye could stand together. Her code carries no white figure of any kind, so on her code she satisfies the Finding 21 test, and she is genotyped positive, which makes her the second animal in this register where that inference could be checked against a laboratory result and held. The photographs show pale fur on the chest and feet and the cattery makes no statement about white on her, so that reading is left open here as it is on every cat where a code and a photograph could disagree. Two full siblings out of one mating are genotyped DBE^ALT, Topaz Zojka and Misha Zojka, both heterozygous, both out of Sammy Zojka over Yassminka Zojka. One positive kitten leaves a new mutation open; two out of one pairing makes a carrier parent the only ordinary explanation. Which parent is still not established, and their sire Quincy Ars Britannica, who is the sire of both of them and carries no eye code, remains the one animal a single test would discriminate on. S_MISHA_177 what this result does not say, and it is as important as what it does. The laboratory's own public catalogue offers ONE dominant blue eye product for cats, DBE-ALT, and lists no other. DBE^CEL, DBE^re, DBE^AGO, DBE^cDc and DBE^xHW were not tested. A positive DBE-ALT result therefore establishes one variant and excludes none of the other five, so this cat is not shown to be free of any of them and is not clear. This register records the panel beside the result for exactly that reason. S_MISHA_177 the dam is genotyped. Yassminka Zojka is herself DBE^ALT/n by laboratory result stated by the cattery, so the variant in this kitten is inherited from a tested parent and is not an inference. A cat of the Nadeya line is now genotyped, and that does not identify the Nadeya determinant. Yassminka Zojka is genotyped DBE^ALT and is attributed to the Nadeya line, which is the first laboratory result on any animal this register places on that line. She has two parents and only one of them is on it: her sire Quincy Ars Britannica is not, and her dam Paula Emerald Flower is. If the variant came from Quincy it entered from outside the line and the Nadeya determinant is still unidentified; If it came from Paula then DBE^ALT is inside the Nadeya line. Nothing held here chooses between them, and one DBE^ALT test on Paula Emerald Flower settles it outright. It also does not exclude a second variant: the laboratory offers a DBE-ALT product only, so DBE^CEL, DBE^re, DBE^AGO, DBE^cDc and DBE^xHW were not tested in any of these cats, and a Nadeya determinant distinct from DBE^ALT would not have shown up.
