Genealogy trace, one printable page carrying the proposed code

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 163p. The variant is attributed to this animal from the record rather than from a result on 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. Monty, BRI by 11 63
2. Yassminka Zojka, BRI ny 11 61, the dam of Monty. genotyped DBE-ALT

That is one recorded parent link, and the animal at the end of it has a laboratory result, so what this cat could carry is not a guess about a line but a consequence of a test on a relative. 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.

How the variant was established

Lineage genotyped, DBE-ALT. Not tested. DBE-ALT is fixed by a DNA genotype in this cat's parent. This cat shows a blue or odd eye and is not dominant white, and Yassminka Zojka is genotyped DBE-ALT with no second variant in the ancestry, so which variant this cat carries is settled. That it carries one is shown by the eye; the genotype names which. No sample of this animal exists.

Computed from the recorded parentage at every build. It sits above a traced descent and below a laboratory result, and it is withheld wherever a second variant sits in the ancestry.

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 Neither reading is discarded | ruled on 13 SEPTEMBER 2026 and the Nadeya label is withdrawn, and the note that follows is what stood before the ruling.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

The description held

drawn with one green icon and one blue and coded 63, the dominant odd eye code. The chart gives him no cattery name. He is written on it as 'Monty' and nothing else, so no prefix is entered. He is drawn below Sammy Zojka and Yassminka Zojka, both of which are out of Quincy Ars Britannica, so on the chart's own lines he is out of a half-sibling mating. No variant is written beside him a caveat on the code, added 29 AUGUST 2026 and applying to every golden shaded British cat in this register coded 61 OR 63 with no white figure. The absence of a white figure is not the absence of white on these cats. Three cats in this material have now had white spoken to by someone who has seen them, and the three do not agree: Irven vom Wuerzburgerstern and Cooper from SoloMiya are both said to have some, and Topaz Zojka is stated by his own cattery to have none, and all three carry codes with no white figure. A golden shell or shaded coat puts near-white fur on the chest, muzzle and feet by its own tipping, and the registries writing these codes do not appear to separate that from white spotting consistently. FINDING 21 rests on the code and is therefore weaker for this group than it is elsewhere, and it is not weakened where white is coded reliably, which is most of this register. No status is changed on this record by this note: a caveat is not a finding. A photograph of the whole cat, or a genotype, would settle it. S_COOPER_187 the Nadeya line label was removed from this record on 1 SEPTEMBER 2026, on the compiler's ruling. The label came off the Ermine Trace pedigree charts and not off a parent link. This animal does not descend from Ermine trace Nadeya: neither it nor its dam Paula Emerald Flower reaches the founder through any recorded parentage, and this register does not treat chart membership as descent. The attribution is recorded here and not adopted. Its dam Paula Emerald Flower still carries the Nadeya label and is held for a separate ruling, so the question of whether DBE-ALT reached this litter from inside that line or from its sire Quincy Ars Britannica, who was never on it, remains open and is settled by one DBE-ALT test on Paula Emerald Flower.

Evidence grade

Lineage genotyped not tested. The variant is fixed by a DNA genotype in a parent or an offspring, and only one variant sits in the ancestry, so which variant this animal carries is settled without a sample of its own
