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 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

ERMINE TRACE XERXES. THE PREFIX ENTIRE, AND IT SPANS THREE BREEDS. Seventy-one animals: BRITISH SHORTHAIR, BRITISH LONGHAIR AND SCOTTISH FOLD, one cattery. THE SCOTTISH FOLD CATS ARE THE POINT: Ermine Trace Felicita Fantina, Henrietta, Jonathan, Osborn, Queen Qona, Quesadilla, Yashma, Zima and Zarya carry SFS or SFL codes, AND AZIA ERMINE TRACE, BLH ns 12 33 68, AND UNREAL ZOUWU ERMINE TRACE, BLH ny 11 68, CARRY THE DOMINANT EYE CODE INTO THE BRITISH LONGHAIR. A dominant blue eye variant established in one breed reaches another by exactly this route, INSIDE ONE CATTERY AND WITHOUT ANY OUTCROSS BEING RECORDED AS SUCH. The whole prefix is entered, not only the coded cats, so that the coded animals have a denominator

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.

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.
