Can it be feasible? I, as an owner, breeding Persians and exots, pose myself such a problem quite not too long ago. Of, program they exist, if to see from genetic point of view. Chocolate or lilac Persians? Can it be feasible? I, as an owner, breeding Persians and exots, pose myself such a problem rather lately. Of, program they exist, if to see from genetic point of view. These colors are integrated into regular, there is their description, but... Exactly where are they? By all accounts from abroad, they have such animals but for some purpose they are a lot more usually met in pedigrees of British cats as experimental partners for top new color into the breed, but not like exhibition stars. It had to spent lots of time to answer the question: "What is the real situation with Lilac and Chocolate in the Persian group?" The paradox came to light at once: there is adequate big number of Factors with Chocolate and Lilac masques and virtually complete absence of equally colored men and women. Most likely, the fashion played its function in it. Right after all, from the genetic point of view Lilac-Point color is more difficult in receiving than, for instance, Chocolate Solid (strong-monochromatic, "firm" colour). Now, thanks to fashion's jokes, selectionists are forced to word for word take out Chocolate and Lilac either from Strong-carriers CRC (carriers of Color-Point gene) or to function simpliciter with color lines, generating copulations Solids (furthermore it is desirable of stronger kind) with Colors and additional interbreeding on the Color parents. Such copulations are produced for a extended time, but purposeful selection are begun recently in this path. Only many breeding nurseries work right now in this direction: This is JUKI in Poland. It is world-well-known nursery. But again they have Chocolate and Lilac not like goal of selection, but like a side effect of Color-Points' breeding of contemporary kind. This is Smaragd in Estonia, which specializes in Persian and Exotic cats of Lilac color and utilizes in the operate cats from JUKI and Finnish nurseries. Lilac cat of robust sort, reached high victories by FIFE system. Pedigree plan of the nursery is different and involves copulations with Chocolate sires. This is Tair Polling in Ukraine, employing also bloods of JUKI, but specializing, vice versa, only in Chocolates and Tabbys. You can see first kittens from this oldest Kharkov nursery in Moscow. This is club Irbis (FIFE) in Krasnodar, operating at the Colors' bloods and carriers of Chocolate. Right now the nursery Rarity of one sire, cat of Lilac color. Now you can see the 1st Lilac prosterity of show-good quality. The nursery Kelisa in Sochi is the nursery of Chocolate Persians. Prosterity of the exact same sort, believed-out pedigree system. The nursery plans the receiving of Lilac Exots and the perfection of the sort. Several animals of Chocolate color appeared in Russia and Ukraine, but you can not see the result of breeding but. Or these cats nonetheless also young, or the pedigree system is not thought out, giving a soon outcome. Chocolate Exot of Kharkov bloods lives in Saint Petersburg (owner is Orlova S.), also the city on Neva can boast of Chocolate Color-Point, imported from Poland, a single more Exot from Kharkov is bought by the nursery Dimarsh (Moscow). Ther are animals of modern day sort in Perm and Voronezh, but simply because of their remoteness from the capital or passivity of the owners we have a few info about them. The nursery Alexander-Fred (Moscow) has three Chocolate Persian cats ( of different blood lines), a single Chocolate Exot, Chocolate Cream cat, and also numerous cats-carriers of chocolate gene. The nursery plans the receiving of Chocolate and Lilac Bicolor cats. The nursery leads frequent pedigree system with Kelisa (Sochi). Several enthusiasts in Moscow started the breeding of Chocolate and Lilac Persians, but possibly they either didn't have sufficient indicates to acquire interesting sires or purposefully decided to go all the way of coming-into-becoming of animals' sort, who originally received chocolate color by the way of interbreeding. It is required to realize genetic appropriatenesses of these colors to know the guidelines of breeding and receiving of Lilacs and Chocolates. Black color of the hair equally with red is deemed to be the standard color. Pigment melanin in black color - eumelanin, in red - pheomelanin. All the rest numerous colors (except white) are only derivatives of these two. Black color of the hair is formed below the influence of gene B - black, which is defined full chromogenesis. The pigment equally assignes to the axis of hair from the root till the tip. Gene B - black of black color is prepotent, and behind it the row of recessive genes can be hiden: Gene brightener D (delutor - i.e. diluent), that gives an chance to get from the provided sire kittens of blue color. This gene is charged with distribution of pigments, their a lot more thin area along the axis of hair, producing the tone of the hair more light Gene b of chocolate color ( unique location of pigments along the axis of the hair) , giving an opportunity to receive from the providing animal kittens of chocolate color and, in mixture with gene-brightener D, lilac color. Consideration need to be provided to the fact that gene b is recessive. I.e. to receive kittens of chocolate color, both of parents should be carrier of this gene, and to receive the posterity of lilac color, each of parents need to have at the same time genes D and b Gene of siamese color is intriguing by chance to receive the posterity with siamese marks, including blue, chocolate and lilac colors (in the presence of genes of clarification and chocolate color at the very same time). Presence of provided genes can define, studied the pedigree of sire or in practice, choosing partners with recognized genetics. But to acquire the color, close to excellent, it is required to preserve to the rule - to pair similar with similar. The principal requirement for the good quality of lilac and chocolate color is their tender, warm tone. These colors go effectively collectively, but as attainable partners it is allowed to select cats of Red, Cream colors, who give their Lilac and Chocolate progeny pinkish tint of hair and vibrant eye color. To Lilac and Chocolate Tabbys can be advised Golden Tabbys as attainable partners or improvers of type. Peculiarity of today's scenario in Chocolate breeding of Persian is that the activity to get rid of Siamese gene became the purpose of the selectionists. At the very first stage of the operate it comes to the top this gene into the recessive state. In future, numerous copulations of Chocolates and Lilacs 'inside them' will allow to clear up the color gene of the population. It would appear that there is nothing simplier to pair Lilac-Point with Red cat, and then interbreed littermates among every single other. But the query of the variety stands the most sharply in Persians than in other breeds. That's why such way is inconvinient - undertaking the step forward, it has to do two methods back. What we have to do? Very often animals of black color, specially in extreme breeds are the carriers of the strongest, contemporary kind, that's why they are used as improvers in the breeding of animals of diverse colors such as Points, Smokes, Bicolors and even Chinchillas. That's why it is suitable to attract exactly them (or Tortoiseshell cats, received from black, higher-class sires) to the chocolate plan. Extract from the standard of Persian colors WCF (edition by 1995): PER b CHOCOLATE: Color: All colors of brown are accepted, with out rust, white hairs or image. With no grey undercoat, color should be equal. Lobe of the nose: Color of milky chocolate Pads: Color of cinnamon or chocolate Eye color: Copper or deep-orange PER c LILAC: Color: Color of hair is pale lilac with light pink shimmer, with out white hairs or image. With out grey undercoat, color ought to be equal. Lobe of the nose: Lilac Pads: Lilac-pink rate us Eye color: Copper or deep-orange Today the interest to the uncommon Persian colors increases. That is why I hope that really quickly we can usually see the rarest and the most mysterious Chocolates and Lilacs on the shows!
