At Vlastar Lux Cattery, responsible breeding is based on health, genetic transparency and thoughtful breeding selection.

Barbie has completed an extended DNA analysis panel at FERAGEN laboratory, including hereditary disease screening, blood type testing and detailed coat colour genetics. 


DNA Health Screening

Barbie tested CLEAR/NORMAL for all major hereditary diseases included in the panel, including:

  • Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
  • Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy markers (HCM)
  • Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PK-def)
  • Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
  • Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome
  • Factor XII Deficiency
  • Gangliosidosis GM1
  • Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis
  • Multi Drug Resistance (MDR1)

All disease markers included in the test panel showed normal (clear) results. 

This testing helps us build healthy future generations and make responsible breeding decisions.


Coat Colour Genetics

Barbie carries several highly valuable and interesting genetic traits:

  • Genetically confirmed copper/sunshine golden coloration (CORIN) 
  • Point gene carrier (cs) 
  • Dilute genotype (d/d) 
  • No chocolate detected
  • No cinnamon gene detected 
  • Shorthair genotype (non-longhair carrier) 

According to her CORIN genetic findings, Barbie is considered genetically:

BRI ay 12

(copper/sunshine golden shell)

Her DNA results confirm the genetic background responsible for her unique warm sunshine-type golden coloration. 


Blood Group & Breeding Compatibility

Barbie has genetically confirmed:

Blood Group A — carrier of B (A/b1) 

This means Barbie herself has blood type A, while also carrying the recessive blood group B variant.

Knowledge of blood groups is extremely important in professional cat breeding and neonatal kitten care. DNA blood typing allows us to carefully plan safe and compatible mating combinations.


Our Breeding Philosophy

At Vlastar Lux Cattery, we believe responsible breeding means much more than beautiful cats.

Our breeding philosophy includes:

  • genetic transparency,
  • health-focused breeding,
  • careful color program planning,
  • responsible blood group management,
  • and long-term breed improvement.

DNA testing is an essential part of our breeding program and helps us provide future kitten families and breeders with confidence, safety and transparency.
