prefix Belle Ayr · British Shorthair · line: Nanotigr · no blue eye. Carrier status not known · Variant known, this cat untested

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE clear. Tested negative on the panel recorded, with no unidentified line above. 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

NO RECORDED PARENT LINK JOINS THIS CAT TO A FOUNDER OR TO A TESTED ANIMAL. What the record rests on instead is the line recorded on it, Nanotigr, which is a source's attribution and not a descent this register can walk; and a variant a source attributes to it, DBE-ALT, which this survey does not adopt; and 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 the prefix suggests

DBE-ALT, ON A PREFIX MATCH ONLY. No pedigree is held for this cat and no variant is adopted for it. OTHER CATS OF THE Belle Ayr PREFIX IN THIS REGISTER CARRY DBE-ALT, on evidence graded genotyped at best. THAT IS A PREFIX MATCH AND NOT AN ATTRIBUTION: a prefix names a cattery, and a cattery can hold more than one population. It is recorded so that this cat appears on a list worth testing, and only a laboratory or a pedigree takes it off.

What is flagged

1. PROMISE. Panel. TESTED AGAINST FOUR VARIANTS OF THE SIX NOW IDENTIFIED, not against all of them. The breeder states that this cattery's cats were run for DBE-ALT, DBE-RE, DBE-CEL and DBE-AGO. DBE-cDc AND DBE-xHW WERE NOT TESTED FOR, so wild type here means carrying none of four and says nothing about the other two

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.
