Can it be attainable? I, as an owner, breeding Persians and exots, pose myself such a problem fairly recently. 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 dilemma very recently. Of, course they exist, if to see from genetic point of view. These colors are integrated into standard, there is their description, but... Exactly where are they? By all accounts from abroad, they have such animals but for some reason they are far more frequently met in pedigrees of British cats as experimental partners for major new color into the breed, but not like exhibition stars. It had to spent lots of time to answer the query: "What is the real circumstance with Lilac and Chocolate in the Persian group?" The paradox came to light at once: there is adequate massive quantity of Points with Chocolate and Lilac masques and virtually full absence of equally colored men and women. Possibly, the fashion played its role in it. Right after all, from the genetic point of view Lilac-Point color is a lot more tough in receiving than, for example, 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 operate simpliciter with color lines, creating copulations Solids (furthermore it is desirable of more powerful variety) with Colors and additional interbreeding on the Color parents. Such copulations are created for a extended time, but purposeful selection are begun recently in this path. Only a number of breeding nurseries perform these days in this direction: tumbshots This is JUKI in Poland. It is planet-popular nursery. But once more they have Chocolate and Lilac not like goal of choice, but like a side effect of Color-Points' breeding of modern day type. This is Smaragd in Estonia, which specializes in Persian and Exotic cats of Lilac color and makes use of in the function cats from JUKI and Finnish nurseries. Lilac cat of strong type, reached high victories by FIFE method. Pedigree program of the nursery is numerous and consists of copulations with Chocolate sires. This is Tair Polling in Ukraine, making use of also bloods of JUKI, but specializing, vice versa, only in Chocolates and Tabbys. You can see initial kittens from this oldest Kharkov nursery in Moscow. division This is club Irbis (FIFE) in Krasnodar, working at the Colors' bloods and carriers of Chocolate. Today the nursery Rarity of one particular sire, cat of Lilac color. Now you can see the initial Lilac prosterity of show-high quality. The nursery Kelisa in Sochi is the nursery of Chocolate Persians. Prosterity of the identical variety, thought-out pedigree program. The nursery plans the receiving of Lilac Exots and the perfection of the type. A number of animals of Chocolate color appeared in Russia and Ukraine, but you cannot see the result of breeding yet. Or these cats still as well young, or the pedigree system is not believed out, giving a quickly 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). division Ther are animals of modern sort in Perm and Voronezh, but due to the fact of their remoteness from the capital or passivity of the owners we have a couple of details about them. The nursery Alexander-Fred (Moscow) has 3 Chocolate Persian cats ( of different blood lines), one Chocolate Exot, Chocolate Cream cat, and also several cats-carriers of chocolate gene. The nursery plans the receiving of Chocolate and Lilac Bicolor cats. The nursery leads prevalent pedigree plan with Kelisa (Sochi). Several enthusiasts in Moscow started out the breeding of Chocolate and Lilac Persians, but possibly they either didn't have sufficient means to purchase exciting sires or purposefully decided to go all the way of coming-into-getting of animals' kind, who initially received chocolate color by the way of interbreeding. It is necessary to understand 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 fundamental color. Pigment melanin in black color - eumelanin, in red - pheomelanin. All the rest different 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 complete 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 opportunity to obtain from the given sire kittens of blue color. This gene is charged with distribution of pigments, their a lot more thin location along the axis of hair, generating the tone of the hair a lot more light Gene b of chocolate color ( particular place of pigments along the axis of the hair) , providing an chance to receive from the giving animal kittens of chocolate color and, in combination with gene-brightener D, lilac color. Consideration should be given to the fact that gene b is recessive. I.e. to acquire kittens of chocolate color, both of parents should be carrier of this gene, and to acquire the posterity of lilac color, each of parents need to have at the very same time genes D and b Gene of siamese color is exciting by opportunity to obtain the posterity with siamese marks, including blue, chocolate and lilac colors (in the presence of genes of clarification and chocolate color at the exact same time). Presence of provided genes can define, studied the pedigree of sire or in practice, choosing partners with recognized genetics. But to receive the color, close to perfect, it is essential to preserve to the rule - to pair related with related. The major requirement for the quality of lilac and chocolate color is their tender, warm tone. These colors go properly together, but as attainable partners it is permitted to decide on 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 suggested Golden Tabbys as feasible partners or improvers of type. Peculiarity of today's situation in Chocolate breeding of Persian is that the job to get rid of Siamese gene became the goal of the selectionists. At the 1st stage of the work it comes to the top this gene into the recessive state. In future, numerous copulations of Chocolates and Lilacs 'inside them' will let to clear up the color gene of the population. It would appear that there is nothing at all simplier to pair Lilac-Point with Red cat, and then interbreed littermates amongst every other. But the query of the kind stands the most sharply in Persians than in other breeds. That is why such way is inconvinient - doing the step forward, it has to do two actions back. What we have to do? Really usually animals of black color, especially in extreme breeds are the carriers of the strongest, modern type, that's why they are utilized as improvers in the breeding of animals of different 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 program. Extract from the standard of Persian colors WCF (edition by 1995): PER b CHOCOLATE: Color: All colors of brown are accepted, with no rust, white hairs or image. With no grey undercoat, color ought to 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 no white hairs or picture. With no grey undercoat, color must be equal. Lobe of the nose: Lilac Pads: Lilac-pink Eye color: Copper or deep-orange These days the interest to the uncommon Persian colors increases. That is why I hope that quite quickly we can often see the rarest and the most mysterious Chocolates and Lilacs on the shows!
