I have included the inbreeding coefficients for all of my girls; bear in mind that the average for the Burmese and Ocicat breeds is around 20-25% over 16 generations. It is meaningless to use less than 8 generations for calculation of inbreeding - ideally it should be calculated right back to foundation, which is around 16 generations in Ocicats and 20-30 generations in Burmese, depending on ancestry. With Asians the calculation is not quite so accurate as I have been unable to trace Chinchilla lines back beyond the 1940s or so. However the Chinchilla contribution to my Asian lines is now very small.
Burmese
Molly, Lohr Malinalda, is chocolate. She was bred by Deborah Laugher of Lohr Asians and Burmese and is a good outcross for my current boys. Inbreeding 11.4% (8 generations) / 25.4% (16 generations). Nina, Vervain Nienna, is lilac tortie and she is the 7th straight generation of my Burmese line that originated in 1993. Both girls have excellent pedigrees. Her inbreeding is 5.1% (8 generations) and 25.2% (16 generations). My third Burmese girl is Cherry, Vervain Cherryplum who is Nina's daughter sired by Theo, and therefore my 8th generation girl. Cherry has done exceptionally well in kitten classes at shows so far, finishing her kitten career with BOV Burmese kitten at the GCCF Supreme Show 2008 . Inbreeding 4.2% (8 generations) / 22.4% (16 generations).
Asian
Lyra, Vervain Nimrodel, black tortie silver Burmilla, was sired by my previous Burmilla stud, Gr Ch vervain Elfstone, and her mother was Vervain Yavanna, a cream Burmese. Inbreeding 3.0% (8 generations) / 19.3% (16 generations). Lyra carries blue and chocolate so she could produce almost any colour in her kittens.
Ocicat
This is my tawny girl Alice, Vervain Aerlinn, born October 2008. Her father is Teemu (Lumo Tezcatlipoca, lilac Finnish import) and mother Rio (Vervain Valimai, tawny) so she carries both blue and chocolate. I am hoping to mate her to a Classic patterned stud towards the end of 2009. Inbreeding 1.4% (8 generations) and 20.5% (16 generations).
