| Breeding restrictions | Asian cats may be registered on the Active Register, at the breeder’s request, only if: 1. They have themselves been tested normal for HK. The test certificate should be supplied with the registration application. 2. Both parents have been tested normal as in A1 3. They can be deemed normal because of the results of the testing, as in A1, of cats on every pedigree line in previous generations. Pedigree line in this case refers to both parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents and so on, or any combination of the same which is inclusive of both the sire’s and dam’s ancestors. Any Asian cat which has inherited two copies of the HK recessive gene (i.e. is suffering from Hypokalaemia Polymyopathy) must not be bred from. |

| Special notes | All Red, Cream or Apricot Asians or Cats of Asian Type (as defined above) with one or more Tabby or Shaded parent(s) must be registered as Red, Cream or Apricot Tabbies or Shaded until proven otherwise by genetic testing (proof to be supplied with registration documentation). No cat may be registered as a Tabby or Shaded unless it has an agouti parent. In the case of cats imported into the GCCF register, no cat with a Tabby or Shaded within five generations may be registered as a Red, Cream or Apricot Self or Smoke unless either: a) The cat has been DNA tested and proven to be non-agouti, or b) There is a non-red, non-agouti cat breaking the line descending from the Tabby/Shaded. |
