Breeding restrictions     none   LaPerms are not compatible with Cornish, Devon, or Selkirk Rex. Such matings are therefore highly undesirable. The product of such matings will be registered on the Reference Register and cannot be considered to be LaPerms or LaPerm Variants. They cannot be used in any Rex breeding programme and should be placed on the non-active register. It is considered to be in the best interest of the LaPerm breed to keep it entirely separate from other incompatible Rex mutations.

Under no circumstances should any cat with Sphynx ancestry be introduced into the LaPerm breed.

LaPerms with Oriental LH or Balinese cats in their pedigree, registered prior to (date of progression to Provisional status) will continue to be registered as LaPerms as will their progeny in succeeding generations. After the date of progression to Provisional status the progeny of La- Perms mated to Oriental LH or Balinese will be registered on the Reference Register as “no recognized breed” with no progression.

Before the registration of any White LaPerm on the Active Register, a BAER certificate of freedom from deafness for the cat must be supplied to the GCCF.
