What is an official Outcross?

 An official outcross is produced from mating two  Active Registered & recognised pedigree breeds of cat together.

It is always advisable make a thorough investigation when purchasing kittens to be sure you are actually purchasing officially registered kittens from a reputable breeder.

There are a vast number of kittens which are not registered with either GCCF or TICA being sold as pedigree crossbreeds. They are sold before the age of 13 weeks and without two sets of vaccinations done three weeks apart. These kittens cannot be classed as pedigree cats because they do not have the necessary paperwork provided by either TICA or GCCF. If you are unsure ask for the pedigree names of both parents and contact GCCF and ask for advice.

My Breeding Program

In 2008 I purchased a fully registered second generation Birman outcross female Chosenhill Bluducati-Sky. She came from the result of a GCCF registered Lilac Colourpoint Persian mated GCCF registered Blue Tortie Birman to produce the first generation. The Birman Breed Advisory Committee (BAC) set the breeding policy for this type of mating and it can be found here.

 Chosenhill Bluducati-Sky was mated to Dareios Laty Mery and produced four third generation kittens in 2011:

 Bluducati Allthat fluff:       Blue point female

Bluducati Angelina:            Blue point Female     ACTIVE Breeding female

Bluducati Araminta:           Blue point Female      ACTIVE Breeding female

Bluducati Archangel:          Lilac Point male         ACTIVE Breeding male

All these kittens are registered on the GCCF Reference Register.

 The progeny from these cats will be registered on the Supplementary Register and will be given their relevant Birman breed number. If show quality they can also compete for titles at GCCF shows.
