Meo vom Osterdeich

prefix vom Osterdeich · British Shorthair · line: Kotomodda, by descent from Hugo Kotomodda · both eyes blue · Identified from descendants, never genotyped · also in its ancestry: DBE-ALT, Igor

Under the variant field this directory proposes, this cat would read DBE 161 x1|163p. A carrier with no result of its own standing below an identified variant AND below a line nobody has sequenced. TWO DETERMINANTS STAND ABOVE THIS CAT AND THE SCHEME NAMES BOTH RATHER THAN CHOOSING. Where one of them is a line nobody has sequenced, NO TEST NOW AVAILABLE RESOLVES THE FIELD: a clear result on the identified variant leaves the other standing. 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. Meo vom Osterdeich, BSH d 03 61
2. Hugo Perle D'Ivorie *CZ, BSH o 61, written, the sire of Meo vom Osterdeich
3. Hugo Kotomodda, the parent of Hugo Perle D'Ivorie *CZ. DBE-ALT, adopted by this survey

That is 2 recorded parent links, and the animal at the end of it carries a variant this survey has adopted, but has not itself been tested. 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.

Three or more variants could be present in this cat

DBE-ALT and Igor, unidentified and a dominant blue eye, variant not named by the source. MORE THAN ONE VARIANT COULD BE PRESENT IN THIS CAT: DBE-ALT, Igor, unidentified, a dominant blue eye, variant not named by the source. It is not established that any of them is, and it is not established that two are. A dominant allele comes from a parent, and this cat's recorded ancestry carries an attribution of each. The attributions above it are on Arischa from Sham, Australian Bingo, Djursviks Cosmo, Hugo Kotomodda, Hugo Perle D'Ivorie *CZ, IQ von Luanda British Velvet, Jazzy Lee von Luanda, Katrin's & Capriz Ventura Ice, Know How vom Grutholz, Mirabella from Sham, Quintesence vom Grutholz, Rivium's Nina Ricci. A CAT HOLDING TWO IS A COMPOUND HETEROZYGOTE, which this survey records as the state associated with deaf and dead kittens, and NOTHING BUT A TEST DISTINGUISHES ONE FROM TWO.

Computed from the recorded parentage at every build, counting both the variants this survey adopts and the ones it records a source claiming and does not adopt. IT IS AN UPPER BOUND AND NOT A FINDING: it says what could be here, never what is.

What is flagged on this tree

1. PURRINGPOEMS SUSANNAH. THIRTY ANCESTORS, TWELVE CODED EYES, AND EVERY ONE OF THE TWELVE CARRIES 01, 02 OR 03. THIS IS THE CONTROL FOR BRITISH GEMS STITCH AND IT COMES FROM STITCH'S OWN CATTERY. The coded cats are Epica Wintrose BSH f 01 63, Eragon Winterose BSH c 01 63, Uma Cinni Viridian BSH o 01 63, Elisa Surica BriLG BSH ns 01 21 63, Grayson Rainbow Fire BSH a 02 63, A Seventh Heaven von Grigoleit BSH d 02 63, One Wish Cassia Turiana BSH b 02 63, Cukyluky Viridian BSH b 02 63, Monika Brilliant Field BSH f 02 62, Gudvangen's Unique Baby BSH fs 02 21 62 and Rivium's Happy Dream Girl BSH r 03 63. TEN 63s, TWO 62s, NOT ONE 68, NOT ONE 69 AND NOT ONE 61 | AND NOT ONE CODED CAT ON THE SHEET IS WITHOUT WHITE. Every animal the registry troubled to give an eye code carries van, harlequin or bicolour white, and two of them carry a colourpoint as well. THE UNCODED ANIMALS ARE THE ONES WITHOUT WHITE. That is the classic white spotting gene doing exactly what the holder of this register said it does, demonstrated across a complete thirty-ancestor pedigree | BRITISH GEMS STITCH IS THE EXCEPTION TO IT. He is BSH d 69, RED, with no white symbol in the code, no 01, 02, 03, 08 or 09 and no 33. Same cattery, same registry, and the only cat of the prefix carrying a dominant eye code is also the only coded cat of the prefix carrying no white. THE CONTRAST IS NOW DOCUMENTED ON TWO COMPLETE SHEETS AND A CATTERY LISTING
2. XENIA EDELWEISS. THE JOIN BETWEEN THE OSTERDEICH MATERIAL AND THE EDELWEISS MATERIAL. Her parents are CH Gudvangen's Van Gogh, BSH d 01, 4 April 2013, and CH Cecilia Edelweiss, BSH b 03, 13 August 2012, AND BOTH STAND IN THE PAWPEDS PEDIGREE FOR DARLIN ROYAL EDELWEISS already held here, together with Gudvangen's Moonlight, Gudvangen's Derinje, Wellington from Oskar and Pandora from Oskar. Two separate enquiries in this survey have arrived at the same cluster of Ukrainian and Russian British Shorthairs. WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON IS WHITE SPOTTING AND ODD EYES AND NOT A GENOTYPE
3. KEANU OF KOTOFFSKI. THE WHITE-SPOTTED HALF OF THIS CATTERY, AND THE POINT AT WHICH IT MEETS THE EDELWEISS MATERIAL. His dam Xenia Edelweiss is out of CH Gudvangen's Van Gogh, BSH d 01, and CH Cecilia Edelweiss, BSH b 03, AND THAT PAIR ALSO STANDS IN THE PAWPEDS PEDIGREE FOR DARLIN ROYAL EDELWEISS already held in this register, along with Gudvangen's Moonlight, Gudvangen's Derinje, Wellington from Oskar and Pandora from Oskar. TWO BODIES OF EVIDENCE IN THIS SURVEY MEET HERE, and what they share is a cluster of white-spotted odd-eyed British Shorthairs and no genotype on any of them
4. HUGO KOTOMODDA. THE ROUTE BY WHICH THE KOTOMODDA CATS REACH A GERMAN BRITISH SHORTHAIR CATTERY. His son Hugo Perle D'Ivorie *CZ was bred in the Czech Republic and stands at vom Osterdeich in Germany, where he is the sire of the only two cats of that prefix the breeder calls dominant blue or dominant odd eyed. NO GENOTYPE IS HELD ON HIM OR ON HIS SON and no variant is adopted on this ground
5. OIHANE VOM OSTERDEICH. ANNOTATED IN WORDS BY THE CHART'S COMPILER AS A NON-DBE ODD-EYE BICOLOUR, and the pedigree arithmetic agrees. Twelve of her thirty ancestors carry an eye code and ALL TWELVE ALSO CARRY A WHITE CODE: nine coded 63, two coded 62 and one coded 61. There is no cat in her four generations with an eye code and no white. Her own code is BSH h 03 63. TWO INDEPENDENT READINGS, A BREEDER'S AND A COUNT, REACH THE SAME ANSWER. Her grandson Meo vom Osterdeich is the case where the pattern breaks, and it breaks on the other side of his pedigree
6. HUGO PERLE D'IVORIE *CZ. THE ANIMAL THROUGH WHICH THE KOTOMODDA CATS REACH THIS CATTERY, AND THE ONE WHOSE CODE THE ORDINARY CAUSES DO NOT EXPLAIN. PawPeds gives him BSH o 61 with no white code, and every other eye code in these two pedigrees sits on a cat that also carries white. HIS PAWPEDS RECORD STOPS AT HIS PARENTS: above Hugo Kotomodda and Yumi New Montemi every position reads 'No information in the database', which is what the same database says above Oliver, the founder of the Nanotigr line. NO GENOTYPE IS HELD ON EITHER OF THEM AND NO VARIANT IS ADOPTED HERE: a cattery name is not an animal and an attribution on one chart does not travel down a pedigree by itself. THE F6 IS A BREEDER'S GENERATION COUNT FROM AN OUTCROSS AND IS NOT A REGISTER CLASS, the same distinction this register has had to make for the Celeste described as F4
7. HUGO PERLE D'IVORIE *CZ. 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.
8. MEO VOM OSTERDEICH. BOTH MECHANISMS STAND IN ONE PEDIGREE AND THE SURVEY DOES NOT CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM. He is BSH d 03 61, a bicolour with two blue eyes, and white spotting gives an odd eye and not two blue ones, SO HIS COAT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR HIM. Two sources are available in his own pedigree. HIS SIRE Hugo Perle D'Ivorie is BSH o 61 WITH NO WHITE CODE AT ALL, one generation away, and above him the database is empty in all eight cells. HIS DAM SIDE IS EIGHT WHITE-SPOTTED CATS OF WHICH EVERY EYE-CODED ONE IS 63, ODD, except Celandine's Golden Jinte, BLH ny 22 03 24 61, five generations away, who is the one bicolour in that network with two blue eyes. THE CODES CANNOT SEPARATE A SIRE ONE GENERATION AWAY FROM AN ANCESTRESS FIVE GENERATIONS AWAY and no genotype is held on any animal on the sheet
9. MEO VOM OSTERDEICH. Eye and coat, A DETERMINATION AND NOT A QUERY. This cat is blue-eyed in both eyes, carries a bicolour or locket white code, is not dominant white and is not colourpointed. THE CLASSIC WHITE SPOTTING GENE COVERS AN EYE WHERE THE WHITE HAPPENS TO FALL, WHICH GIVES AN ODD EYE AND NOT TWO BLUE ONES, so the coat does not account for this and a dominant blue eye is present in the line. IT IS NOT THE KIT ODD-EYE 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 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

CODED BSH d 03 61: red, bicolour, plain blue eye code. HIS SIRE IS THE CATTERY'S DOMINANT BLUE EYED STUD AND HIS DAM IS A GRANDDAUGHTER OF KEANU OF KOTOFFSKI, so both sources of a blue eye in this cattery meet in him. HIS PEDIGREE IS HALF EMPTY: eighteen ancestors of thirty, two complete generations of four, because everything above Hugo Kotomodda and Yumi New Montemi reads 'No information in the database'

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.
