  • The Turkish Vankedisi
    THE TURKISH VANKEDISI The white cat from Van – rare and beautiful! You would be forgiven for having never heard of Turkish Vankedisi cats since they have only been known by this name for a relatively short time, and it’s unlikely that you will find them in any book of cats. In Turkey the white cats are considered to be the true Van Kedi (Van cat), however for the last half century it has been the auburn & white cats that we have come to know as the Turkish Van, and of course more recently the other colours as well. History has a lot to answer for, since during that time the word "van" has become a style of coat patterning, meaning as having two coloured "butterfly" head markings and a coloured tail, and for this reason there can be no "white" Turkish Van in the GCCF, since they don't have any markings! So this brings us to the Turkish Vankedisi, a cat identical to the Turkish Van in every way except for its colour. The Turkish Vankedisi is a pure white Turkish cat originating from eastern Turkey, around the region of Van. 'Vankedisi' is the Turkish phrase for cat from Van, and betrays the close relationship that it has with the Turkish Van cat. In fact the Turkish Vankedisi is simply a completely white Turkish Van, and with some registration bodies (e.g. TICA) they are classified as such, and compete in cat shows against their coloured counterparts. Ironically perhaps, it is the Vankedisi that the Turkish people hold in such reverence! Due to the severe restrictions placed on the export of these very special cats very few ever left Turkey, however, in the early 1990's Lois Miles succeeded in obtaining written permission from the Turkish authorities to bring home a white, odd-eyed female.

  • Genetic Assignment of Domestic Cats to Breeds and Worldwide Random-Bred Populations
    doi: 10.1111/age.12008 Variation of cats under domestication: genetic assignment of domestic cats to breeds and worldwide random-bred populations J. D. Kurushima, M. J. Lipinski, B. Gandolfi, L. Froenicke, J. C. Grahn, R. A. Grahn and L. A. Lyons Department of Health & Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California – Davis, Davis, CA, 95616, USA. Summary Both cat breeders and the lay public have interests in the origins of their pets, not only in the genetic identity of the purebred individuals, but also in the historical origins of common household cats. The cat fancy is a relatively new institution with over 85% of its 40–50 breeds arising only in the past 75 years, primarily through selection on single-gene aesthetic traits. The short, yet intense cat breed history poses a significant challenge to the development of a genetic marker–based breed identification strategy. Using different breed assignment strategies and methods, 477 cats representing 29 fancy breeds were analysed with 38 short tandem repeats, 148 intergenic and five phenotypic single nucleotide polymorphisms. Results suggest the frequentist method of Paetkau (single nucleotide polymorphisms = 0.78, short tandem repeats = 0.88) surpasses the Bayesian method of Rannala and Mountain (single nucleotide polymorphisms = 0.56, short tandem repeats = 0.83) for accurate assignment of individuals to the correct breed. Additionally, a post-assignment verification step with the five phenotypic single nucleotide polymor- phisms accurately identified between 0.31 and 0.58 of the misassigned individuals raising the sensitivity of assignment with the frequentist method to 0.89 and 0.92 for single nucleotide polymorphisms and short tandem repeats respectively.

  • Recommended Breeding Policy for the Turkish Group of Cats
    RECOMMENDED BREEDING POLICY FOR THE TURKISH GROUP OF CATS 1 List of Contents Introduction Page 3 Genetic Make-up Page 4 Breeding System Page 6 Type Page 10 Coat Page 10 Eye Colour Page 11 Bite Page 11 Registration Page 12 Gallery Page 13 2 A BREEDING POLICY FOR TURKISH CATS BREED CODE “TUV” Introduction This breeding policy accompanies and supplements the Turkish Registration Policy and should be read in conjunction with that document. The aim of the breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to ensure breeders observe what is considered “best practice” in breeding. The over‐ riding objective is to improve the Turkish cat, working to meet all aspects of the Turkish Standard of Points, ideal for the breed and colours recognised. Turkish Vans and Turkish Vankedisi originate from a geographically isolated area of eastern Turkey, specifically the area surrounding the city of Van, and Lake Van itself. The first of what we now recognise as Turkish Vans to be seen in Britain were introduced in 1950s, with further additions from the 1980s onwards. The first Turkish Vankedisi was imported from Turkey in the 1990s, and another in the 2000s to coincide with the Preliminary Recognition of the Turkish Vankedisi by the GCCF. In order to expand upon this relatively limited gene‐pool, further Turkish cats have subsequently been imported from Europe and America. All forms of Van cat are now under the protection of the Turkish government. There is a breeding programme for the all‐white Vankedisi cats at the Van Cat House within the grounds of Van University A naturally occurring breed, in the UK the fur should be long soft and silky to the roots.

  • Animal Identification (Advanced)
    Animal Identification (Advanced) This Chapter Covers: ♦ Canine Identification ♦ Feline Identification ♦ Wildlife Identification Canine Identification You need to know dog breeds and groups, in addition to the information you learned in the basic course. The American Kennel Club currently recognizes 136 breeds of dogs and divides them into seven groups: ! Sporting Dog ! Hound ! Working Dog ! Terrier ! Toy ! Non-Sporting ! Herding Each group contains many breeds that have common features or a similar use. Zoonosis Control Division – 9/03 Animal Identification - 1 Animal Identification (Advanced) # Sporting Dogs The sporting dogs are placed into four basic categories: pointers, retrievers, setters, and spaniels. This group contains what we usually consider the hunting dogs. Pointers and setters are the breeds that "point" when hunting birds. Spaniels are generally smaller and are used to flush birds from cover. Retrievers recover downed birds after they have been shot. In general, these breeds are of good temperament and most make good family or companion animals. These dogs are very active and require exercise to stay in shape. Some of the more popular breeds in the sporting group are: ! American Cocker Spaniel ! Golden Retriever ! Irish Setter ! Labrador Retriever ! Pointer Other breeds in the sporting group are: * American Water Spaniel * Brittany Spaniel * Chesapeake Bay Retriever * Clumber Spaniel * Curly-Coated Retriever * English Cocker Spaniel * English Setter * English Springer Spaniel * Field Spaniel * Flat-Coated Retriever * German Shorthair Pointer * German Wirehair Pointer * Gordon Setter * Sussex Spaniel * Vizsla * Weimaraner * Welsh Springer Spaniel * Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Animal Identification - 2 Zoonosis Control Divison – 9/03 Animal Identification (Advanced) # Hounds The hound breeds are divided into two categories: scent and sight hounds.

Massive secondary infections of the skin lesions evolved. Histopathological examinations showed a mild to moderate hyperplastic epidermis, covered by a thick layer of laminar to compact, mostly parakeratotic keratin. The dermis was infiltrated with moderate amounts of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Due to the severity of the clinical signs, one affected kitten died and the other two had to be euthanized. We sequenced the genome of one affected kitten and compared the data to 54 control genomes. A search for private variants in the two candidate genes for the observed phenotype, MKLN1 and SLC39A4, revealed a single protein-changing variant, SLC39A4:c.1057G>C or p.Gly353Arg.

  • TICA STANDARD GUIDELINES PACKET for BREED COMMITTEES
    TICA Standard Guidelines Packet TICA STANDARD GUIDELINES PACKET For BREED COMMITTEES Purpose of Standards All standards should be clear, concise, quick references for TICA judges and a guideline for breeders. Breeders and judges must “speak the same language”. This packet was developed to help breeders understand how judges interpret standards and to help breed committees in writing standards that are easily read and understood. Even if every breeder in a breed section instantly understands the wording in their breed standard, it fails to accomplish a vital purpose if it is not understood by your judges. Improving a breed standard so it can be quickly, easily and more consistently understood by breeders and judges should be a major goal for every breed section. This package is a tool to help you achieve that goal. Attachments: Guidelines for Standards Format Guidelines TICA Format for Standards Standard Terms Eye Shape Chart Drawing – Parts of a Cat Glossary of Terms Show Rules, Article 16 Registration Rules, Article 7 Uniform Color Description (UCD) GUIDELINES FOR STANDARDS Standard Terms & Judges: It is VERY important to review all the other breeds standards before deciding if a descriptive term is a good idea for your standard. You may only be familiar with the terms used in your breed’s standard. Seeing how other breeds describe a feature common to your breed might provide ideas for wording. Judges are familiar with the terms used in all the standards and tend to relate them to each other. Examples: “Plush coat” - a judge thinks British Shorthair “Fine, silky coat” - a judge thinks Turkish Angora Standards & Relationships: The descriptive terms used should make sense in the context of how your breed relates to all other breeds.
