This registration policy applies to all Oriental
Shorthair breeds which at present have
Full, Provisional or Preliminary recognition with the exception of the Foreign
White (Breed 35). It shall also apply to any other breeds/colours of Oriental
Shorthair which may be produced by a combination of the colour genes already
recognised in Oriental Shorthairs.
When breeding Oriental Shorthairs every attempt
should be made to select healthy cats to breed from, free from known hereditary
diseases.
If a cat is known to have possessed the gene for
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), its progeny should be screened for PKD, either
under the FAB/PKD scheme or by a
reliable genetic test, before being used for breeding Oriental Shorthairs.
If practical and reliable genetic tests become
available for Hepatic and/or Renal Amyloidosis, cats should be screened for this
before being used for breeding Oriental Shorthairs in order to be aware of the
extent of the problem.
If any hereditary disease, for which a practical
and reliable test is available, becomes prevalent in Oriental Shorthairs, this
Registration Policy may be amended to require testing for that particular
disease before progeny may be registered on the Active Register, untested cats
being registered on the Genetic Register.

Siamese.
Other Breeds.
Foreign Whites.
Matings between Foreign Whites and other Oriental
Shorthairs are not permitted. Any progeny of Oriental Shorthair appearance will
be registered on the Reference Register
as "SH of Oriental type". After six generations of matings to cats of
groups A, B, C or D above, the resulting progeny may be registered as Oriental
Shorthairs on the Supplementary or Experimental Register, as appropriate.
Oriental Bicolours.
Matings between Oriental Bicolours and other
Oriental Shorhairs are only permitted for the breeding of Oriental Bicolours.
All shorthaired non-bicolour progeny of such matings will be registered on the
Reference Register as "SH of Oriental type". After six generations of matings to
cats of groups A, B, C or D above, the resulting progeny may be registered as
Oriental Shorthairs on the Supplementary or Experimental Register as
appropriate.
FULL REGISTER
Oriental Shorthairs, with the exception of the Foreign White, with Full or
Provisional recognition which have in their pedigrees within the preceding five
generations only Oriental Shorthairs of the same division as Ai. to Aiii. above
shall be registered on the Full Register, with the exception of those cats whose
pedigrees include within three generations a cat registered on the Experimental
or Reference Register.
SUPPLEMENTARY REGISTER
Oriental Shorthairs, with the exception of the Foreign White, with Full or
Provisional recognition which have in their pedigrees within the preceding five
generations only Oriental Shorthairs or Siamese as listed in A, B, C or D above
shall be registered on the Supplementary Register.
EXPERIMENTAL REGISTER
Oriental Shorthairs with preliminary recognition which have in their
pedigrees within
the preceding five generations only Oriental Shorthairs or Siamese as listed in
A, B, C or D above shall be registered on the Experimental Register.
Siamese (as listed in C and D above) which have Foreign Whites (35) are
permitted in the pedigrees of Oriental Shorthairs on the Supplementary
or Experimental Register.
NOTE: When applying to register Oriental Shorthairs with Foreign White
grandparent(s), great-grandparent(s), great-great-grandparent(s) or
great-great-great-grandparent(s) a copy of the five generation pedigree must be
submitted with the application,
REFERENCE REGISTER I
Oriental Shorthairs of breeds, such as those listed in B above, which do not yet
have Preliminary recognition but which have in their pedigrees within the
preceding five generations only Oriental Shorthairs or Siamese as listed in A,
B, C or D above shall be registered on the Reference Register but shall be
eligible to be considered as registered on the Experimental Register in the
event of Preliminary recognition of their breed.
Cats of Oriental Shorthair appearance produced from matings between Foreign
Whites and other Oriental Shorthairs shall be registered on the Reference
Register as "SH of Oriental type".
Cats of Oriental Shorthair appearance produced from matings between Oriental
Shorthairs and Oriental Bicolours shall be registered on the Reference Register
as "SH of Oriental type".
After six generations of matings to Oriental Shorthairs or Siamese as listed in
A, B, C or D the resulting progeny may be registered as Oriental Shorthairs on
the Supplementary or Experimental Register as appropriate.
Cats of Oriental Shorthair appearance produced from matings between Oriental
Shorthairs and Oriental Longhairs or Balinese shall be registered on the
Reference Register as Oriental Longhair Variants and are only acceptable in the
pedigrees of Oriental Longhairs or Oriental Bicolours. Their shorthaired progeny
will be
overstamped "may carry the longhair gene".
REFERENCE REGISTER II
Cats of Oriental Shorthair appearance produced from matings to other recognised
breeds whose Registration Policies permit Oriental Shorthairs as an outcross
breed shall
be registered as directed by the Registration
Policy for the other breed, but with no reference to Oriental type, and shall
not be permitted in the pedigrees of Oriental Shorthairs.
All other cats of Oriental Shorthair appearance
which have in their pedigrees within the preceding five generations any cats
other than Oriental Shorthairs or Siamese as listed in A, B, C or D above shall
be registered on the Reference Register as "no recognised breed" and with no
progression, unless accompanied by a five generation pedigree showing no
longhaired, gloved, Burmese/Tonkinese coloured, Bengal, rex-coated or
hair-deficient breeds, together with an explanation of the reason of the
outcross: this may be referred to the relevant BAC before progeny may be
registered as "SH of Oriental type".
NOTE: All Red, Cream or Apricot Orientals
with one or more Tabby Point, Oriental Tabby or Oriental Shaded parent(s) must
be registered as Red, Cream or Apricot Oriental Tabbies or Shadeds until proved
otherwise. They may not be registered as Oriental Selfs or Oriental Smokes until
test matings have proved them to be free of the agouti gene. No cat may be
registered as a Tabby or Shaded unless it has an agouti parent.
In the case of cats imported onto the GCCF
register, no cat with a Tabby Point, Tabby Oriental or Oriental Shaded within
five generations may be registered as a Red, Cream or Apricot Self or Smoke
unless either a. the cat has been proved by test matings to be
non-agouti, or b. there is a non-red, non-agouti cat breaking the line descending from the
Tabby Point/Oriental Tabby/Shaded, or c. a Red, Cream or Apricot cat in the line descended from the Tabby
Point/Oriental Tabby/Shaded has been proved by test matings to be non-agouti.
N.B. This ruling shall take effect from
26th April 1989, amended 23rd February 2005, and shall not be retrospective. All
suitable offspring of two Full Register parents shall themselves be registered
on the Full Register.. All suitable offspring of two Supplementary or
Experimental Register parents, or from one Full Register and one Supplementary
or Experimental Register parent, shall be registered on the Supplementary
or Experimental Register as appropriate. From 26th April 1989, amended 23rd
February 2005, any kittens born from parents of any breed not listed in groups
A, B, C or D shall be registered as above.
