How this cat connects, or does not connect, to an identified dominant blue eye variant. Generated from the register at build time.
What the proposed field says, and why it reads that way. The variant is attributed to this animal from the record rather than from a result on it. The scheme is set out in full in the proposal. No registry issues this field today: it is computed from this cat's record at each build, so it changes by itself the day a laboratory result is entered, and nothing here has to be reissued.
The Roddifer name on this cat is an attribution, not a traced descent. A source, usually a breeder-compiled chart, places it in that line. The register holds no chain of parentage that confirms or denies it.
No descent is traced above this cat. The register holds no chain of recorded parentage from this animal upwards to the head of a line, and its own parents are not recorded. named to the Roddifer line by a source; the register holds no parentage that shows it. The gap is above it, not below it: 2 records stand below this cat, 2 of them its own offspring. Where a cat appears under a line without a chain upwards, the line name rests on a source that asserts it rather than on parentage the register can follow.
| Generation | Cats held | Carrying a variant |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 of 2 possible | DBE-ALT |
| 2 | 4 of 4 possible | DBE-ALT |
| 3 | 8 of 8 possible | DBE-ALT |
| 4 | 16 of 16 possible | DBE-ALT |
This cat has never been tested. Everything above rests on documents and descent. Descent from a line is not a genotype. A cat can stand in a line and carry nothing, and a blue eye can be caused by white, by colourpoint or by low iris pigment with no PAX3 variant involved.
This is not a health certificate. It says nothing about hearing, and nothing about whether this cat should be bred from. Deafness in this trait is associated with carrying two different variants at once, which no pedigree can show and only a test can.
This directory is built from what people send it. For this cat it does not hold:
Sending a pedigree, a photograph or a test result. A pedigree has to be one a registry or club issued, because that is the only document that settles a parent; a breeder chart is welcome but is recorded at a lower grade and cannot draw a descent. The contact page says what to send and how. A correction is as welcome as an addition: where this page is wrong about your cat, the record is changed and the source you supply is named on it.
