BURMILLA
The overall impression of the Burmilla is a medium foreign type – similar to the Foreign Burmese, but non-Burmese in coat, pattern and length. The Burmilla bears the same relationship to Foreign Burmese as the Oriental to the Siamese. Siamese head type or cobbiness of the British Shorthair is regarded as a fault.

I – BODY/CONFORMATION (25)
(10) BODY – Medium in length and thickness with firm muscles. Straight back from shoulder to rump. Chest is generous but not disproportionately broad.
(10) LEGS & FEET – Medium in length with hind legs slightly longer than front. Paws oval in shape.
(5) TAIL – Medium to long. Medium in thickness and tapering slightly to a rounded tip.

II – HEAD TYPE (25)
(15) FULL FACE – Wide at jaw hinge with good width between ears. Gently rounded top head. Short wedge and in profile, a noticeable but gentle nose break is apparent.
Firm chin.
(5) EARS – Medium to large with rounded tips and set well apart, continuing angle of upper face to produce a butterfly-wing outline from front. In profile, slight forward tilt. Ear tufts are acceptable in both short and long hairs.
(5) EYES– Slightly oriental in shape but neither almond nor round. Set well apart. Large and expressive.

III – COAT TEXTURE/LENGTH (20)
SHORTHAIR – Short, fine and close lying with a slight“lift”. Slight ear tufts are acceptable.
LONGHAIR – Silky and fine in texture. Longer on tail and noticeable ruff. Furnishings inside ears to form “streamers” and tufts at tips of ears are acceptable.

IV – COLOUR (30)
See Coat Colour Description for more details. For cats without pattern, allow 20 points for colour.
(10) COLOUR
(10) PATTERN the full details are delivered as a separate document (below) and are linked
Solid – 100% of colour (no silver or golden)
Smoke – 75% of colour (25% silver or golden) these % breakdowns would have to be amended it our suggested changes are passed
Shaded – 50% of colour (50% silver or golden)
Shell / Chinchilla – 25% of colour (75% silver or golden) names would require changes
Tabby – Ticked, Spotted, Mackerel,Classic, Patched (may be silver or golden) patched would change
(10) EYE COLOUR– Colour may range from yellow through chartreuse (green preferred).

V – CONDITION & BALANCE (0)
Healthy and alert. Muscular and firm.

Explanation of ALLOWED ANCESTRY:

Traditional Chinchilla Persian (used only once as the foundation breeding of a new line and not to be repeated in that line).

Traditional and/or Foreign Burmese to ensure Burmese type and temperament .

Burmillas of all colours, patterns and coat lengths as described above.

This breeding program is specific in the first 4 generations and should be adhered to as follows:

Step 1:
Burmese x Chinchilla
This gives 1st generation, (gen. 1), Burmillas. This gives Shaded or Tipped varieties or occasionally Ticked Tabbies if the Chinchilla carries Golden.

Step 2:
1st gen. Burmilla back again to Burmese This gives 2nd generation, (gen.2), Burmillas. At this stage you can expect to get Tabbies, Selfs and Smokes as well as Shaded or Tipped varieties.

Step 3:
2nd generation Burmilla to an unrelated Burmilla (any variety)
This gives 3rd generation, (gen 3), Burmillas. Again any variety is possible, including longhaired Burmillas, (Tiffanies), if the 2nd gen. cats both carry the longhair gene.

Step 4:
3rd generation Burmilla should be mated back to Burmese
This gives the 4th generation, (gen.4), Burmillas.

After that, matings should mainly be Burmilla to Burmilla.

There is a need to provide some flexibility is this in order to accomodate heterozygous Chinchilla Persians. The objective remains the same, Burmese type with some imported genetics from the Chinchilla. A full Burmilla should show at least 3 breedings to the Burmese in it's ancestry.

The comments jet black to be removed. Patched Elaine has asked that we go with patched and (tortoishell) in brackets as this is standard with the CCA and the judges understanding. This may become redundant if we take out the red genetics (see below) Comment The standard is too large and too complex and judges are becoming discouraged " show me the illa" Some suggestions Remove as (AOV) the following for show (ie. Not to be shown) * the solid cats * the tabbies except the ticked cats all out are classic , mackeral and spotted All shaded are ticked thus no tabby designation as in the tipped cats Increase the tipped designation ( shaded are then 75% - 10% colour * Tipping = colour @10% or silver @ 90% * Shading = colour @ 10-75% or silver @ 25-90% * Ticked Tabbies = colour @ greater than 75% & silver (could aov this group as well??) Remove the designation golden and silver Show only the silver cats (this removes the caramel question and the golden question) The smokes remain as do Shaded and Tipped Remove the red genetics (this removes the Patched/Cameo/Shell question) The Burmese and full expression colours are not differentiated thus There are only the following colours: · Black (covers Ebony term) · Brown (covers FE Brown, Sable, Champagne) · Blue (covers Blue, Indigo) · Platinum (covers Frost, Platinum) They are fundamentally difficult to differentiate in silver based cats anyway Hi Ann and Ivan and everyone, I have a Chocolate Silver Classic Tabby girl from England and she is gorgeous, I would hate to see them go by the way side, because they haven't been seen before. The Remove as (AOV) the Following for showing (can be used for breeding, but not for Showing): The Solids (like you said) The Goldens (confusion between Ivory and White) Ticked are not Shaded, they have an extra bar of a different Colour in the hair Shaft). Should be: Tipped (Colour at end of the hair shaft) Shaded (Colour about half way down the hair shaft) Smoked (Colour about 2/3rds the way down the hair shaft) Ticked (Colour about 2/3rds the way down the hair shaft, but has an extra colour bar to split the main colour on hair shaft) Solid (Colour all the way down the hair shaft) "Show only the silver cats (this removes the caramel question and the golden question)"...No, this isn't so, I have a Caramel (Lilac based) Silver Ticked Tabby female and I have a kitten from the previous Mom (sister to the one I have), who is a Caramel (Blue based) Tortie Silver Ticked Tabby, so I still believe that you need to keep the Caramel as a Colour, even in the Silvers. I don't believe that removing the Red or Cream Gene will help, the reason being, is most of the World is Breeding these colours in the Asians and Burmillas, the only Country who isn't currently breeding these colours (and that could change soon) is Australia. Do you know how hard it will be to only use cats who are from the 4 Colours and to produce kittens or cats that don't have the Red or Cream Gene will also be hard. I think you would be shooting yourself in the foot if you do this. I like those Torties and I love showing them.

13	SMOKE [ as above plus Wb/- , swb/swb and I/- or ii] The Burmilla Smoke is a non-agouti cat as are all solid cats above and varies from the solid cats only in one aspect - that it displays the wide band genetics . All colours defined in the solid section above, are available. The cat is defined by colour and followed by the term SMOKE. Some faint ghost marking may be evident on the body especially in kittens, but is undesirable in adults. There may be silver frown marks on the forehead and silver rings round the eyes, sometimes know as "Clown" markings. Our current understanding is as follows; The Agouti (ticked) cat is distinguishable by the brick nose, the non agouti cats have nose colour that matches paw pad colour. Thus any cat that has a brick nose can not be defined or shown as a SMOKE. The only exception is the genetic Orange (red cream) cat as the brick nose colour is largely non-distinguishable from the red nose. Wide banding is made up of two genes one dominant and one recessive, that work in both agouti and not agouti cats to vary the amount of colour [B/-] depositied on the hair shaft. There are a number of factors that affect this colour deposition. Black[B/-] is the "strongest"colour. Its' deposition on the hair shaft is reduced in its' recessive form [bb] (shape of colour dot) , by the sepia genetics [cbcb] (temperature sensitivity), the dilution genetics [dd] (dot deposition pattern/clustering) and by the affect of the "silver inhibitor' gene [I/-] as against golden [ii] and whether the cat's normal colour production is amended by the sex linked orange overide (eumelanin vs phaeomelanin, the latter being more sensative to [I/-]). Thus there can be both golden smokes and a silver smokes As a result the ground colour can be white [I/-] or pale cream [ii] and the hair shaft will have a varying percentage of colour pigmentation dependant upon whether one or both wideband genes are present and the accumulation of recessives mentioned above. The ideal SMOKE has usually been seen as clearly silver on the undercoat and having 50% of colour. This should no longer be the case. It is not intended that golden smokes and silver smokes be differentiated at this time. But judges and breeders should be aware of the possibilities and recogize that the smoking base colour and amount can be highly variable. The cat should clearly be a "smoke". The golden smoke will additionally deliver a perceivable darker hue to the main colour particularly in the (weeker) colours rendering the Blue cat to (caramel), Lilac to (taupe) and Cream to (apricot). These darker coats and conversely the "powder coats" (silver cats) are also not differentiated at this time. NOTE: The orange based cats (Red and Cream and Tortie smokes) will not show much if any colouration due to the increased sensitivity of phaeomelanin (orange genetics ) to silver [I/-]. Thus a sable tortie smoke may appear very uneven in colour with almost no red in sight, and a red or cream smoke may be almost all silver and appear Tipped. In fact it can often be impossible to differentiate a red tipped from a red smoke and may not be determined until subsequent breeding. While this would be of concern to the breeder it should not affect the judging process.	genetics [wide band and super wide band or tipping with silver or golden] where does this come from??

The pattern colour in standard tabbies should be that of the equivalent colour Burmilla solids and torties and their Burmese colour restriction counterparts. In silver tabbies the pattern colour may lack warmth (I.e., red or cream) and should not be penalized. The pattern colour in spotted, classic and mackerel tabbies should match on head, body, legs and tail. There should be no speckling of agouti hairs in the markings and the pattern. On ticked tabbies the pattern colour on head, legs and tail should match the ticking colour on the body. In golden tabbies the markings should be dense, as near as possible to the roots and in silver tabbies they should extend well down the hairshaft. The markings should show good contrast with the ground colour, but in dilute colours the contrast between the markings and the ground colour is less than the required in non-dilute colours. In tortoishell tabbies the distribution of tortie markings is immaterial. TICKED TABBY [as above Plus Ta/-] The body hair is to be ticked with two or three bands of colour with shades of the marking colour and ground colour. The pattern should be free of spots, stripes or blotches (except for darker dorsal shading). Lighter undersides may show buttons on chest and stomach. The face and tail must show distinct tabby markings. Legs may or may not be barred. Any necklaces may be broken or unbroken. OBJECTIONS: Blurred or indistinct markings. Light tip on end of tail (except in red, cream, apricot - where a light tip is permitted). Ticking in dark markings. White that extends to the throat. Tamishing or discolouration in Silver tabbies NOTE: The orange based silver cats (Red , Cream and Torties) will show reduced colouration due to the increased sensitivity of phaeomelanin (orange genetics) to silver [I/-]. Thus a silver tortie may appear very uneven in colour with almost no red in sight, and a red or cream may be almost shaded. Conversely, it can often be impossible to differentiate a red ticked golden from a red solid and may not be determined until subsequent breeding. While this would be of concern to the breeder it should not affect the judging process. NOTE: Indications of a mask or colour [C/- versus cbcb] not sound to the root (colour pointing /sepia) is not differentiated at this time and could be confused with silver versus golden[I/- versus ii]. MACKEREL TABBY [as above but tata, Mc/-, spsp] The body pattern conforms to the same specifications as the Classic Tabby except the design of the markings - instead of swirls or Circles, has vertical bands of darker colour markings on the cat's sides. This 'butterfly' is delineated by thin lines instead of solid colouring. This pattern can have three distinct spinal lines but they are narrow and usually meld into each other. Good contrast must exist between the ground colour and pattern. Necklaces will be broken, the more the better. OBJECTIONS: Blurred or indistinct markings. Light tip on end of tail (except in red, cream, apricot-where a light tip is permitted). Ticking in dark markings. White that extends to the throat. Tarnishing or discolouration in Silver tabbies CLASSIC TABBY [as above plus - - tata, mcmc, spsp] The markings are dense, clearly defined and broad. Legs barred with bracelets. Tail markings can range from complete or broken rings to a continuation of the darker colour of the spine line and ends with a dark tip (except in red, cream, apricot-where a light tip is permitted.). Necklaces will be broken, the more the better. Frown marks on forehead should form a letter 'M'. The line runs back from outer comer of eye to form 'spectacles'. There are swirls on the cheeks. Vertical lines over back of the head extend to shoulder markings which end in the shape of a butterfly. Spine markings consist of a vertical line down the spine from butterfly to tail with a vertical stripe paralleling it on each side. A large oval blotch on each side is to be encircled by one or more rings. Side markings should be the same on both sides. There are vest buttons on chest and stomach. NOTE: Markings can vary considerably and still meet the standard. Such variations include the width of the spine lines; single or double 'butterfly' pattern; number of necklaces; complete circular markings of the 'bull's eye'; number of rings on tail. OBJECTIONS: Blurred or indistinct markings. Light tip on end of tail. licking in dark markings. White that extends to the throat. Tarnishing or discolouration in Silver tabbies. SPOTTED TABBY [as above plus (Sp/-] The spotted cat comes in two varieties, the spotted mackeral [Mc/-] as in the Ocicat (discontinuous vertical stripes) and the spotted classic [mcmc] as in the Bengal (rounded spots, more random pattern. Pattern conforms to the same specifications as the classic tabby pattern, except the body pattern is comprised of spots or dots rather than swirls and lines. It is not intended to differentiate at this time. Good contrast must exist between the ground colour and pattern. Spine lines may appear solid but preference is given to spots. Necklaces will be broken, the more the better. OBJECTIONS: Solid Mackerel markings or spots that run together. Blurred or indistinct markings. Light tip on end of tail (except in red, cream, apricot - where a light tip is permitted). Ticking in dark markings. White that extends to the throat. Tarnishing or discolouration in Silver tabbies NOTE: A 'marble' pattern is seen in heterozygous spotted classic cats [mcmc, Spsp]. TORTOISHELL (Patched) TABBY [Females only that are as above with the addition of heterozygous orange [Oo]. All four tabby patterns are permitted. Distribution of tortie markings is immaterial.

A shaded cat is an agouti cat in which between 25 and 75 % on the hair shaft is not marked and shows only the golden or silver. As the silver/inhibitor [I/-] gene has such a strong colour reducing capability shaded golden cats are usually and the lower end of the 25/75 spectrum. This variety has all the same colour and pattern classes as the ticked cat above with the shaded term added. Because of the reduced pattern definition some varieties become more difficult to define. Again as the silver/inhibitor [I/-] gene has such a strong colour reducing capability on the red/cream genetics (phaeomelanin cats) most of the shaded silver cats will appear almost tipped and pattern identification will be almost impossible.

SHADED (agouti, wide band cats) classification includes the tipped cats not differentiated [ A/ , - I/- or ii and Wb/-] excessive tipping would be seen as a fault Burmillas will have shading on the face and a mantel of colour shading down from the spine to a lighter shade on the chest, stomach and under the tail. A shaded cat is an agouti cat in which between 25 and 75 % on the hair shaft is not marked and shows only the golden or silver. As the silver/inhibitor [I/-] gene has such a strong colour reducing capability shaded golden cats are usually at the lower end of the 25/75 spectrum. TIPPED (Chinchilla) (agouti, super wide band cats) [ A/ , - I/- or ii and WB/-, swb/swb] Burmillas will have tipping on the face, with a light mantel of colour shading from the spine to the sides and tail. The pigment will only show at the extremities of the hairs . A tipped cat is an agouti cat in which more than 75 % on the hair shaft is not marked and shows only the golden or silver. As the silver/inhibitor [I/-] gene has such a strong colour reducing capability tipped golden cats are usually at the lower end of the 75% "no colour" spectrum and may not be seen as clearly tipped. Flexibility is suggested. If fact a shaded golden is probable genetically [Wb, swbswb].	The shaded cats have all the same colour and pattern classes as the tabby cat above with the shaded term added. Because of the reduced pattern definition some pattern varieties become more difficult to define. and be evenly distributed in the non tortoiseshell variety. Again as the silver/inhibitor [I/-] gene has such a strong colour reducing capability on the red/cream genetics (phaeomelanin cats) most of the shaded silver cats will appear almost tipped and pattern identification will be almost impossible. While this is for the breeder to know it should not affect the judging decisions. Tipping so slight as to be barely discernable is undesirable except in the "red/cream variety . Again as the silver/inhibitor [I/-] gene has such a strong colour reducing capability on the red/cream genetics (phaeomelanin cats) most of these cats will have almost no colour. This variety has all the same colour and pattern classes as the ticked and shaded cat above with the "Tipped" term added. Because of the reduced pattern definition all varieties become impossible to define in the adult cat. They are therefore not differentiated for judging purposes. Colour is also often severely reduced and the ability to differentiate between the "weaker" colours may be a problem particularly in the juvenile cats. Judges and breeders should make their best determination, at the time, based on their understanding of what they see. Breeders should be aware of the possibility of surprises in the breeding of such cats.

67	TIPPED (SHELL & CHINCHILLA) (Chinchilla) [ A/ , - I/- or ii and WB/-, swb/swb] Burmillas will have tipping on the face, with a light mantel of colour shading from the spine to the sides and tail.

A tipped cat is an agouti cat in which more than 75 % on the hair shaft is not marked and shows only the golden or silver. As the silver/inhibitor [I/-] gene has such a strong colour reducing capability tipped golden cats are usually and the lower end of the 75% "no colour" spectrum and may not be seen as clearly tipped. Flexibility is suggested. If fact a shaded golden is probable genetically [Wb, swbswb]. This variety has all the same colour and pattern classes as the ticked and shaded cat above with the "tipped" term added. Because of the reduced pattern definition all varieties become impossible to define in the adult cat. They are therefor not differentiated for judging purposed. Colour is also often severly reduced and the ability to differentiate between the "weeker" colours may be a problem particularly in the juvenile cats. Judges and breeders should make their best determination, at the time based on their understanding of what they see. Breeders should be aware of the possibility of surprises in the breeding of such cats.

101	TABBY PATTERNS [ A/- , B/- C/-, D/-, I/- , L/-, O/-, and recessive of each plus wb/wb, Swb/- , Ta/-, if not then, Mc/- and Sp/- and the recessive of each ] OVERVIEW The tabby pattern is formed by markings of the solid pattern of colour on a background of agouti hairs. The pattern colour in standard tabbies should be that of the equivalent colour Burmilla solids and torties and their Burmese colour restriction counterparts. In silver tabbies the pattem colour may lack warmth (I.e., red or cream) and should not be penalized. The pattern colour in spotted, classic and mackerel tabbies should match on head, body, legs and tail. There should be no speckling of agouti hairs in the markings and the pattem, which consists of dark agouti on a light agouti background, If so it must be penalized. On ticked tabbies the pattern colour on head, legs and tail should match the ticking colour on the body. In golden tabbies the markings should be dense, as near as possible to the roots and in silver tabbies they should extend well down the hairshaft. The markings should show good contrast with the ground colour, but in dilute colours the contrast between the markings and the ground colour is less than the required in non-dilute colours. In tortoishell tabbies the distribution of tortie markings is immaterial.	genetics [Agouti, all colours, silver and golden, longhair and shorthair, orange overide, narrowband, not super wide band and abby tabby and if not then mackerel or classic and spotted or not ] all of this section has been moved to 31a&b
a 105 moved fwd	TICKED TABBY [as above Plus Ta/-. ] Body hair to be ticked with two or three bands of colour with shades of the marking colour and ground colour. The pattern should be free of spots, stripes or blotches (except for darker dorsal shading). Lighter undersides may show buttons on chest and stomach. Face and tail must show distinct tabby markings. Legs mayor may not be barred. Any necklaces may be broken or unbroken. OBJECTIONS: Blurred or indistinct markings. Light tip on end of tail (except in red, cream, apricot - where a light tip is permitted). Ticking in dark markings. White that extends to the throat. Tamishing or discolouration in Silver tabbies NOTE: The orange based silver cats (Red , Cream and Torties) will show reduced colouration due to the increased sensitivity of phaeomelanin (orange genetics ) to silver [I/-]. Thus a silver tortie may appear very uneven in colour with almost no red in sight, and a red or cream may be almost shaded. Conversly it can often be impossible to differentiate a red ticked golden from a red solid and may not be determined until subsequent breeding. While this would be of concern to the breeder it should not affect the judging process. Note; indications of a mask or colour [C/- versus cbcb] not sound to the root (colour pointing /sepia) is not differentiated at this time and could be confused with [I/- versus ii].	genetic (abby tabby now considered)
b 103 moved forward	MACKEREL TABBY [as above but tata, Mc/-, spsp] Pattern conforms to the same specifications as the Classic Tabby except the design of the markings-instead of swirls or Circles, the body pattern has vertical bands of darker colour markings on the cat's sides. The 'butterfly' is delineated by thin lines instead of solid colouring. This pattern can have three distinct spinal lines but they are narrow and usually meld into each other. Good contrast must exist between the ground colour and pattern. Necklaces will be broken, the more the better. OBJECTIONS: Blurred or indistinct markings. Light tip on end of tail (except in red, cream, apricot-where a light tip is permitted). Ticking in dark markings. White that extends to the throat. Tarnishing or discolouration n Silver tabbies	genetic [not abbytabby, mackeral, not spotted]
102	CLASSIC TABBY [as above plus - - tata, mcmc, spsp] Markings dense, clearly defined and broad. Legs barred with bracelets. Tail markings can range from complete or broken rings to a continuation of the darker colour of the spine line and ends with a dark tip (except in red, cream, apricot-where a lighttip is permitted.). Necklaces will be broken, the more the better. Frown marks on forehead should form a letter 'M'. Line runs back from outer comer of eye to form 'spectacles'. Swirls on cheeks. Vertical lines over back of head extend to shoulder markings which end in the shape of a butterfly. Spine markings consist of a vertical line down the spine from butterfly to tail with a vertical stripe paralleling it on each side. Large oval blotch on each side to be encircled by one or more rings. Side markings should be the same on both sides. Vest buttons on chest and stomach. NOTE: Markings can vary considerably and still meet the standard. Such variations include the width of the spine lines; single or double 'butterfly' pattern; number of necklaces; complete circular markings of the 'bull's eye'; number of rings on tail. OBJECTIONS: Blurred or indistinct markings. Light tip on end of tail. licking in dark markings. White that extends to the throat.

Pattern conforms to the same specifications as the classic tabby pattern, except the body pattern is comprised of spots or dots rather than swirls and lines. It is not intended to differentiate at this time. Good contrast must exist between the ground colour and pattern. Spine lines may appear solid but preference is given to spots. Necklaces will be broken, the more the better. OBJECTIONS: Solid Mackerel markings or spots that run together. Blurred or indistinct markings. Light tip on end of tail (except in red, cream, apricot - where a light tip is permitted). Ticking in dark markings. White that extends to the throat.

The proposed CFA standard as taken from the GCCF in England

Comments are in red Much of what is seen here is the rational that resulted from some very long and extensive discussion of the English standard and why so much of it was rejected by CCA.
Colours have only one undesputed means of definition - and that is based on genetics. Most fancies are slowly coming to that conclusion. Anything else causes problems.

Coat Color (20)

GENERAL: The Asian is an elegant, unique cat breed of far eastern origin, moderate type with gently rounded contours. The Asian Shorthair's reason for being is the coat color and in the Asian LH it is the coat color as well as the coat length. They are alert, active and intelligent with a very friendly disposition. Any oriental elongation or excessive cobbiness is incorrect and should be regarded as a fault. Reds, Creams and Apricots may show "freckles" on the nose, paw pads, lips, eye rims and ears. Slight freckling in a mature cat should not be penalized.

HEAD: Top slightly rounded. Good breadth between the ears. Wide cheekbones, tapering to a short blunt wedge.

EARS: Medium in size. Set well apart. Slight forward tilt. Broad at the base. Slightly rounded tips. The outer line continues the shape of the upper face, except as that may not be possible in mature, full-cheeked males. Ear tufts and streamers are preferable in the Asian Semi-longhair. Allowance should be made for correctly shaped but over-large ears in kittens where the head size and shape is still developing.

MUZZLE: Visible nose break. Jaw wide at the base. Strong lower jaw. Strong chin and the bite level and even. Nose Leather should be appropriate to the coat color. In agouti (Tabby and Shaded) cats, may be pink rimmed with the equivalent solid or tortie color.

EYES: Large. Alert. Set well apart. Top line slightly curved, with an oriental slant toward the nose. Lower line rounded. Eye Rims Appropriate to the coat color.

EYE COLOR: The eyes may be any color from yellow through to green, depending on the variety. In the Silver Tipped and Shadeds green is preferred, in the Solid rich yellow to gold is preferred.

BODY: Medium to Medium-large length and size. Firm Muscle Tone Preferred. Chest strong and rounded in profile. Back straight from the shoulder to the rump.

LEGS and FEET: Legs are slender and in proportion to the body, of medium length with the hind legs slightly longer. Feet medium and oval.

TAIL: Medium to long length. Not thick at the base. Tapering slightly to a rounded tip. The length should be sufficient for the tip to reach the shoulder when the tail is brought gently around the side of the body.

COAT: (Shorthairs) Short, fine close-lying. Very glossy. Satin-like in texture. Almost without undercoat.

COAT: (Longhairs) Should have a fine and silky coat medium long, except over the shoulders and without a woolly undercoat.

COAT COLOR: Coat color may be Black, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac, Red, Cream, Black Tortie, Blue Tortie, Chocolate Tortie, Lilac Tortie, Caramel. Apricot, or Caramel Tortie. The Burmese color restriction of any of these colors is acceptable in all except the Solid and Tortie varieties and the Silver gene is accepted throughout the range.

All the following descriptions are for fully mature cats. In Burmese restriction colored kittens, the coat color will be slower to develop. The Burmese color restriction gene reduces the melanin in the hair shaft, particularly near the skin, thus color in these cats cannot be sound to the roots of the hair. In Burmese restriction colors, the cat may have a denser concentration of pigment on the mask and ears. The full expression color non-agouti Asian Tortie will show a greater degree of color than Tortie Asians of other patterns. In Silvers the inhibitor gene may cause the color to lack warmth. This should not be penalized. In Asian Longhairs, the longer body hair may appear to cause paling of the color. This would have to do with the uncoloured undercoat.

PENALIZE: Pronounced muzzle pinch (top view). Oriental eye shape. Round eyes.??? Flat brow. Excessive cobbiness. Extreme or Aggressive temperament.

DISQUALIFY: White markings anywhere, other than those referred to in the color description. Small or close set eyes. Visible tail kink.??? Lack of weight or condition.

AOV: Any Asian SH in the 10 European Burmese colors, not to be shown.

BASE COLORS

Black (Full Expression Color):genetic B/-, C/- D/-. Jet black. Paw pads: Black or dark brown. Nose leather and eye-rims: Black.
Actually our experience of this is a ebony colour that will show a brown tinge under clear sunlight. carefull with this jet black term.

Brown (Burmese Color Restriction):genetic B/-, cb/cb, --. Rich, warm seal brown. Very dark color bordering on black is incorrect. very good Paw pads, nose leather and eye-rims: Brown. this is the English term - - Sable is the NA term and a better discriptor given the comments below - - see Chocolate -this is the cat that equals the sable burmese -and could not be shown

Blue (Full Expression Color): genetic B/-, C/- d/d. Medium to dark blue, showing silvery sheen to rounded areas of body. Nose leather and eye-rims: Blue. Paw pads: Blue or lavender.

Blue (Burmese Color Restriction):genetic B/-, cb/cb --. Soft silvery blue grey, which may be very slightly darker on the face, back and tail, showing silvery sheen to rounded areas of head and body. Nose leather and eye-rims: Dark grey. Paw pads: Pinkish grey. genetic B/-, cb/cb.

note two para above are trouble - this will confuse the judging , registration and public -also the present rules disqualify the full expression cat from showing where as the non dilite version "Black " is not. The colours must be differentiated by name.

Chocolate (Full Expression Color):genetic b/b-, C/- D/-. gene Rich warm chestnut brown, no dark or cold tones. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Brown or pinkish brown. Again this is the English term this is the cat that equals the Havanna Brown when a/a

Chocolate (Burmese Color Restriction): genetic b/b-, cb/cb--- Warm milk chocolate, which may be slightly darker on the face, back and tail, evenness of color overall is very desirable. Nose leather and eye-rims: Warm chocolate brown. Paw pads: Brick pink shading to chocolate. this is the cat that equals the Champagne burmese and could not be shown

note again two para above are trouble - this will confuse the judging , registration and public and disqualify the full expression cat from being shown The colours must be differentiated by name.

Lilac (Full Expression Color):genetic b/b-, C/- d/d- Frosty grey with a distinct pinkish tone giving an overall appearance of lilac. Color too blue or too fawn is undesirable. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Pinkish lilac. Again this is the English term

Lilac (Burmese Color Restriction): genetic b/b-, C/- ---Pale delicate dove grey, with a slight pinkish cast giving a rather muted effect. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Lavender pink. this is the cat that equals the platinum burmese when a/a and could not be shown

note again two para above are trouble - this will confuse the judging , registration and public and disqualify the full expression cat from being shown The colours must be differentiated by name

Red (Full Expression Color):genetic b/b-, C/- - - - O/O(Ox)- Rich intense red, as even as possible. Nose Ieather, eye-rims and paw pads: Pink. ----- tangerene???

Red (Burmese Color Restriction): Light tangerine. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Pink.
this is the cat that equals the red burmese when a/a and could not be shown

note again two para above are trouble - this will confuse the judging , registration and public and disqualify the full expression cat from being shown The colours must be differentiated by name.

Cream (Full Expression Color): Medium cool toned cream, as even as possible. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Pink.

Cream (Burmese Color Restriction): Delicate cream, as even as possible, showing a distinct bloom on ears and back resulting in a powdered effect. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Pink.
this is the cat that equals the cream burmese when a/a and could not be shown

note again two para above are trouble - this will confuse the judging , registration and public and disqualify the full expression cat from being shown The colours must be differentiated by name these colours are very difficult to differentiat in the a/a cat.

Caramel (Full Expression Color):genetic A/-, b/b-, C/-, d/d - - - i/ i-and most often SWB/--- Cool toned bluish fawn. With maturity a soft metallic sheen may be seen, especially on the head, up the hocks and around the paw pads. The depth and tone of caramel color may vary depending upon whether it is blue or lilac based. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Bluish fawn.

Caramel (Burmese Color Restriction):genetic A/-, b/b-, cb/cb, d/d- - - i/ i-and most often SWB/--- Cool toned pale fawn graduating to rich honey coloring on the chest and abdomen with lilac overtones. Color may be slightly darker on face, back and tail. With maturity a soft metallic sheen may be seen, especially on the head, up the hocks and around the paw pads. The depth and tone of caramel color may vary depending upon whether it is blue or lilac based. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Pinkish fawn.

Technically these colours do not exist. What is happening is that the viewer is looking at a blue cat (C/- or cb/cb) that is agouti and golden giving the gun metal gray colour that is described. As such it is a pattern The golden is seen through the blue. It is in essence a non true colour as in any colour generated from red yellow and blue in your ink jet printer. The problem with using this discriptor, is that in this form, it confuses the breeding process. -
-It should not be considered as lilac based in our understanding - - most lilac based goldens that we have seen are often confused with "champagnes" - - reminder - - the colour is in the paw pads.
That is not to say the discriptor could not be used - - BUT the standard must clearly put forward the genetic understanding we have outlined here
Additionally this would indicate a discriptor requiremment for the "Lilac golden'.

Apricot (Full Expression Color): Cool dusty cast over warm intense pinkish cream. With maturity a soft metallic sheen may be seen. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Pink

Apricot (Burmese Color Restriction): Cool dusty cast over warm intense pinkish cream shading to pale tones on the body. With maturity a soft metallic sheen may be seen, especially on head, up the hocks and around the paw pads. Nose leather, eye-rims and paw pads: Pink

We have no understanding of what is being described here.
Apricot is usually the seen as the full expression red in our understanding but see robinsens

SOLID COLOR CLASS

If colours are defined correctly all this is unnecessary

For all Asian solid colors it is very difficult to attain a consistent color through the length of the hair shaft and some paling to the roots can be allowed for as long as it is a slightly paler shade of the coat color.

Black: Even Black. Nose leather: solid black. Paw pads: solid black or very dark brown.

Black Tortie: Jet black with shades of red. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Appropriate to coat color and / or pink.

Brown:= our sable?? - does not agree with comments above Rich, warm, seal brown. Nose leather: rich brown. Paw pads: brown.

Brown Tortie: Seal brown with shades of red. Nose leather and Paw pads: Seal brown, pink or both.

Blue: = our indigo no comment for burmese blue Medium to dark blue to the roots. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Solid blue.

Blue Tortie: Medium to dark blue with shades of cream. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Appropriate to coat color and ~ or pink.

Chocolate: = our new Brown no comment for bumese sepia champagne Rich warm chestnut brown to the roots. No dark or cold tones. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Brown or pinkish brown.

Chocolate Tortie: Rich warm chestnut brown with shades of red. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Appropriate to coat color and / or pink.

Lilac:= our frost not comment for sepia colour and no comment re taupe given they went for caramel and apricot. Frosty grey with a distinct pinkish tone to the roots, giving an overall appearance of lilac. Color too blue or too fawn is undesirable. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Pinkish lilac.

Lilac Tortie: Frosty grey with a distinct pinkish cast giving an overall appearance of lilac, with shades of cream. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Appropriate to coat color and / or pink.

Red: Rich intense red, as even as possible. Slight tabby markings and some shading to paler roots may be evident and should not penalise an otherwise good cat. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Pink.

Cream: Medium cool toned cream, as even as possible. Slight tabby markings and some shading to paler roots may be evident and should not penalise an otherwise good cat. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Pink.

Caramel: Cool toned bluish fawn. With maturity a soft metallic sheen may be seen. The tone of caramel color may vary depending upon whether it is blue or lilac based. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Bluish fawn.

Caramel Tortie: Cool toned bluish fawn with shades of apricot. With maturity a soft metallic sheen may be seen, especially on forehead, up the hocks and around the paw pads. The tone and depth of caramel color may vary depending upon whether it is blue or lilac based. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Appropriate to coat color and / or pink.

Apricot: Cool dusty cast over warm intense pinkish cream. With maturity a soft metallic sheen may be seen. Slight tabby markings and some shading to paler roots may be evident and should not penalise an otherwise good cat. Nose Leather and Paw Pads: Pink.

these last 3 colours do not exist nor can they genetically.
Cats have ony 2 colours brown and black the dilutes of those are blue and lilac. The sex-linked override is red and the dilute is cream black and brown can not be differentiated in most cases when sex link red is delivered.

SMOKE COLOR CLASS

May be any color accepted in the Asian's Base Color. The Asian Smoke is a non-agouti cat and the undercoat of silver-white or near-white should be no less than one-third and no more than one-half of the total hair length in adults. When in repose the cat should have overall appearance of a Solid or Burmese colored cat, the silver undercoat showing through when the cat moves giving the "smoke" effect. Some faint ghost tabby markings may be evident on the body, especially in kittens, but distinct tabby markings in adults are undesirable. There may be silvery speckling on the face, silvery frown marks on the forehead and silvery rings round the eyes.

genetic a/a.....I/i....Wb/- and or swb/swb which along with C/- or cb/cb delivers the varibility. We have not been able to identify a i/i smoke and that may be as it is unidentifiable.

CHINCHILLA (TIPPED) OR SHADED COLOR CLASS

The coat to be Chinchilla (Tipped) or Shaded in any color accepted in the Asian Base Colors. The undercoat may be Silver or Non-Silver (Standard). In Silvers the shading color may be reduced in intensity and the undercoat should be as in the equivalent Asian Silver Tabby. The silver base-color can take some time to develop in kittens and allowance should be made for a minimum amount of silver in kittens and adolescent cats. In Non-Silvers the Tipped or Shading color should be as the Asian Base Colors described above and the undercoat should be as in the equivalent Asian Standard Tabby.

In Silver Chinchilla (Tipped) or Shaded, tarnishing i.e. discoloration of the silver ground color is undesirable.

Pattern --The Chinchilla (Tipped) or Shaded Silvers may show wide variation in degree of Tipping or Shading, from light to heavy. All variations in the density of Tipping or Shading are equally acceptable the important consideration being that the Tipping or Shading is evenly distributed. Chinchilla (Tipped) or Shaded Silvers will have a mantle of color Tipping or Shading down from the sides, face and tail, from dark on the spine to lighter patterning on the chest, stomach and under the tail. A heavily Shaded Silver may show very little undercoat on the spine line. Where the Tipped is lightly colored giving a tipped effect, the pigment will only show at the extremities of the hairs and be evenly distributed. Tipping so slight as to be barely discernible is undesirable. The Chinchilla (Tipped) and Shaded Silver is an agouti cat and the tabby pattern, which may be Spotted, Classic, Mackerel or Ticked, may show clearly on the surface of the coat in kittens but should become less distinct as the lighter base color extends up the hair shaft with maturity. The more heavily Shaded adults may still show some superficial tabby pattern, especially on the back and sides. This pattern may be more noticeable in Standard varieties than in Silver varieties. Cats with classic pattern may appear darker because the pattern area is greater.

The legs, head and tail may show tabby markings of varying clarity depending upon the degree of Tipping or Shading and basic underlying tabby patterning. The denser concentration of color should extend from the feet up the back of the legs to the hock joint. Light spotting on the belly is permissible.

This is a mine field that the reader/cfa/judges need to clearly understand... colour (black and the recessive brown) are diluted by many other genes. Red is a less intensecolour and more affected by the inhibitor/silver gene than black. Brown is inself weeker than black. Sepia is a colour reducer. Thus a black is reduced to brown (to the eye).
Question - - can the sepia black be distingished from non sepia brown.
"I" is also a reducer of colour.
Question - - - what is the difference between a brown cat with wide band and a black cat with sepia. Not much but remember the paw pads.
The length of the hair also fools the eye.
A black cat with agouti, longhair, Wide band, and the recessive super wide band, is a Chinchilla by definition in England. It is probable the need to hold the recessive that has pushed them into declaring it a separate breed.
A shorthair red, non adjouti, will appear tipped because of the weekness of the colour - - and this is accentuated by sepia.
This chinchilla effect will not breed true with other colours and will cause much confusion.
It is our suggestion that the term is not used --
shaded is a general term covers more possibilities, and raises less questions.

TABBY COLOR CLASS this is a paturn not a colour and all cats are A/- agouti with red brick noses.

The tabby pattern, which may be Spotted, Classic, Mackerel or Ticked, is formed by markings of the solid pattern color on a background of agouti hairs. The pattern colour only color in Standard Tabbies should be that of the equivalent colored Asian Solids and Torties or their Burmese Color Restriction counterparts. In Silver Tabbies the pattern color may lack warmth and this should not be penalized. The pattern color in Spotted, Classic and Mackerel Tabbies should match on head, body, legs and tail. There should be no speckling of agouti hairs in the markings and a pattern, which consists of dark agouti on a light agouti background is incorrect and must be penalized. In Ticked Tabbies the pattern color on head, legs and tail should match the ticking color on the body. Pedantic and functionally incorrect a tabby is and abby tabby only if it is not (ta/ta) can it be other

In Standard Tabbies the markings should be dense, as near as possible to the roots and in Silver Tabbies they should extend well down the hair. The marking should show good contrast with the ground color, but in dilute colors and Burmese restriction colors, the contrast between the markings and the ground color is less than that required in non-dilute or full expression colors. In Tortie Tabbies the distribution of Tortie markings is immaterial.

1. The Burmese Color Restriction Gene genetic C/- versue cbcbc has the effect of reducing the melanin in the hair shaft particularly close to the skin, thus color cannot be sound to the roots nor can the undercoat be as rich as in the equivalent full expression cat. However, in all Asian Tabbies of Burmese Color Restriction the markings should be as near to the roots as possible Not correct or possible given the statement above or a genetic understanding and show good contrast with the ground color. The ears and mask of Burmese color restriction cats may be slightly darker.

2. In Silver Tabbies tarnishing i.e. discoloration of the silver ground color is undesirable.

3. In full expression color Asian Tabbies the markings should show good contrast with the ground color. repeat of above noted information

Head Markings --On the forehead there should be an "M". In Ticked Tabby kittens there may be a skull-cap, which may clear to an "M" in adults. There should be an unbroken line running from the outer corner of each eye and penciling on the cheeks. The edges of the ears should be the same color as the markings with a central patch of ground color resembling a thumb-print. The Tabby has a tendency to white in the immediate area of the lips and lower jaw. It is a serious fault if this extends to the throat in Standard Tabbies.last two statements are true only in the golden cat - -this information has been taken from other standatds and does on encompas the cb/cb cat - - best left out

Leg Markings -The legs of the Ticked Tabby may or may not be barred. However, the legs of the Mackerel and Spotted should be barred and/or spotted. The legs of the Classic Tabby should be barred. In all patterns the darker pattern color should extend from the feet up the back of the leg to the hock joint.

Tail Markings - The markings on the tail of all Asian Tabbies may range from complete (all patterns) or broken rings (Ticked, Mackerel and Spotted pattern) to a continuation of the darker color on the spine line (Ticked pattern). The tail should have a solid tip of the darker color except in Red, Cream, Apricot and Tortie Tabbies where a light tip is permitted.

Spotted Tabby Pattern: The coat should have all markings clearly defined. The spots may vary in size but should be round and evenly distributed. The spots should not run together in any part of the coat. Lines should extend from the top of the head down the back of the neck, breaking into spots on the shoulder and along the spine. The legs should be barred and/or spotted. The denser concentration of color should extend from the feet up the back of the leg to the hock joint. On the neck and upper chest there will be necklaces, which may be broken, the more the better. The belly should be spotted. The tail should be marked with complete or broken rings.
-this information has been taken from other standards and does on encompas the cb/cb cat - - best left out

Classic Tabby Pattern: The coat should have all markings clearly defined. The ground color and markings should be equally balanced overall. There should be a vertical line or lines running over the back of the head and extending to the shoulder markings, which should be shaped like a butterfly seen from above. Both the upper and lower "wings" should be clearly defined in outline, with dots inside the outline. On the back there should be an unbroken line running down the spine from the butterfly to the tail, with a stripe on either side of this line running parallel to it. The stripes should be separated from it by stripes of ground color. On each flank there should be a large oyster or blotch surrounded by one or more unbroken rings. Both sides of the cat should have symmetrical identical markings. On the neck and upper chest there should be unbroken necklaces, the more the better. The belly may be spotted, blotched or barred. The tail should be banded.

Mackerel Tabby Pattern: The coat should have all markings clearly defined. There should be a narrow unbroken line running from the back of the head to the base of the tail, on either side of which should be a broken spine line from which narrow vertical lines run down the body. These lines should be as narrow and as numerous as possible and should be unbroken. On the neck and upper chest there should be necklaces, which may be broken, the more the better. The belly should be spotted or barred. The tail rings should be as narrow and numerous as possible, complete or broken.

Ticked Tabby Pattern: The coat should be evenly ticked with two or three bands of the pattern color extending well down each hair shaft. The darker color should be more apparent down the spine line, shading to the paler ground color on the belly and inside the legs. Any necklaces may be broken or unbroken. The belly may be spotted. The legs may be barred. The tail may be ringed with complete or broken rings or may have a continuation of the darker color of the spine line.

Nose Leather: As in the equivalent Solid, Tortie or Burmese Restriction color, or pink rimmed with the Solid, Tortie or Burmese Restriction color.

Coat Pattern and Colors: The coat may be Black, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac, Red, Caramel, Apricot, Black Tortie, Cream, Blue Tortie, Chocolate Tortie, Lilac Tortie, Caramel Tortie or the Burmese color restriction of any of these colors or their silver varieties, in any of the recognized Asian patterns. old errors and redundant

The Tabby patterns will be less distinct on the semi-longhair coat.

Coat Length and Texture: Medium long except over the shoulders where a shorter length is permitted, fine and silky in texture, without a woolly undercoat. The coat should appear dense, but lie flat along the spine and display a glossy shine; the coat should lengthen down the body to form fringes or "frills" along the lower edges of the body and under-parts. The tail should be plume-like. The furnishings from inside the ears should form streamers and tutts at the tips of the ears are preferable. A ruff is desirable in the mature cat and, all other things being equal, preference should be given to the cat with a ruff and full breeches. Asian Longhairs do not normally achieve full coat until mature (2 years plus) and allowance should be made for shorter coats and lack of ruff in kittens and adolescent cats.

Allowance should also be made for toe tufts making paws seem larger than they really are. no - - this kind of excessive hair is sometimes seen in neutered cats

The coat lies flat along the body, but forms a ruff around the neck and tends to form fringes or frills along the lower body thereby disguising the underlying bone structure. By smoothing back the coat it is possible to study the lines of the body, which should be of slender, elegant and of medium to medium-large Foreign type exactly as per General Type for all Asian cats.

Rules for Registration and Acceptable Outcrosses for Asian Shorthair and Asian Longhair:

From May ', 2000 all Asians being Registered, with Registration slips from outside North America as Burmillas, Burmilla LH, Tiffanies or Asians, must have no American Burmese in the background for 5 Generations. In the North American Registries all cats which are Registered as Burmillas, Burmilla LH, Tiffanies or Asians, must have no American Burmese in the background for 8 Generations.

In the 1st Generation:

From May 1, 2000, all Ist Generation breedings must be of Chinchilla x European Burmese or any 1 st Generation breedings that took place before May 1, 2000 that was any other type of Ist Generation breedings will be accepted. All Outcrosses must be of Sound Health and Temperament.

In the continuation of Generations:
Each Generation after the Ist Generation breeding mated to
Asian or European Burmese of the CFA type/Standard (with no North American Burmese in the Pedigree), to be Registered as Self, Smoke, Chinchilla (Tipped), Shaded, Tabby Asian SH or LH

Note the reader will understand given the genetics outlined on the genetic page that there are colours errors. Mathematically there are 16 colours. If Black reds can not be differentiated from Brown reds (we agree with that) then there are 12 colours. If full expression reds also can not be differentiated then this number is down to 10. Brown is missing.
If the reds are to be differentiated then they would be Russet red, and it's dilute Apricot (or tangerene), Red and it's dilute Cream. If not then Apricot should be removed.

As all variants below, fall from this colour understanding then the above noted errors are compounded.
