DNA Health & Genetic Profile

At Vlastar Lux Cattery, responsible breeding is based on health, transparency and advanced understanding of feline genetics.

Zabava has completed an extended DNA and genetic screening panel at LABOKLIN Genetics laboratory, including hereditary disease testing, blood group typing and coat colour genetics analysis.

DNA Health Screening

Zabava tested CLEAR/NORMAL for all diseases included in the genetic panel.

The screening included important hereditary conditions such as:

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy markers (HCM)
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PK-def)
Gangliosidosis
Hypokalemia
Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome
Osteochondrodysplasia
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
Factor XI Deficiency
MDR1 gene variant
and multiple additional breed-specific disorders.

All tested results were normal/negative (N/N). This testing helps us make informed and responsible breeding decisions focused on long-term health, genetic safety and breed quality.

Coat Colour Genetics

Zabava has an exceptionally rare and valuable genetic combination for modern golden British Shorthair breeding programs.

Her DNA profile confirms:

Chocolate carrier (b)
Cinnamon carrier (bl)
Dilute genotype (d/d)
Agouti (A/A)
Ticked tabby genetics detected
Colourpoint carrier (C/cs)
CORIN BSH golden variant detected (N/wbBSH)
No sunshine/extreme sunshine variants detected
No amber or russet variants detected

Zabava is also a naturally blue-eyed female expressing the Dominant Blue Eye (DBE) trait.

According to her phenotype and genetic profile, she is considered:

BRI cy 12 61 09

Lilac golden shell bicolor with white, Dominant Blue Eyes (DBE)

Her appearance combines a soft pastel golden coat, white bicolor pattern and deep blue eyes — an extremely rare and highly attractive combination in British Shorthair breeding.

Blood Group & Breeding Compatibility

Zabava has genetically confirmed:

Blood Group A (N/N genotype)

She is not a carrier of blood group B variants detected within the test panel.

Careful blood group management is an important part of our responsible breeding program and neonatal kitten safety protocols.

Dominant Blue Eyes (DBE)

Zabava is part of our carefully selected Dominant Blue Eyes breeding program.

The DBE trait is responsible for naturally expressive blue eyes outside of traditional colourpoint patterns and creates a unique and striking appearance when combined with golden coat colours and white patterning.

In Zabava, the combination of:

pastel lilac golden shell coloration,
white bicolor pattern,
deep blue eyes,
and CORIN golden genetics

creates a truly exceptional and rare phenotype highly appreciated in modern breeding programs.

Dominant Blue Eyes (DBE) — What Makes This Trait So Special?

The Dominant Blue Eye (DBE) trait is one of the newest and most fascinating developments in modern cat genetics.

Traditionally, naturally blue eyes in cats were mostly associated with:

colourpoint cats (Siamese-type genetics),
white cats with dominant white gene (W),
or high white spotting.

DBE cats are different.

A cat with the DBE trait can have:

deep blue eyes,
aqua or odd eyes,
while still keeping full body pigmentation and normal coat colour patterns.

This creates extremely unusual and striking combinations — especially in golden British Shorthairs like Zabava.

How DBE Differs From Colourpoint Blue Eyes

In colourpoint cats, blue eyes appear because the pigmentation is temperature-sensitive:

the body becomes lighter,
darker pigment remains on cooler body parts,
and blue eyes are linked to the point gene (cs).

DBE works differently.

A Dominant Blue Eye cat:

may have completely normal coat pigmentation,
no Siamese pattern,
and still express vivid blue eyes.

That is why Zabava is especially interesting:

she is not a point cat visually, although she carries cs,
but she expresses naturally intense blue eyes due to DBE genetics.

Why DBE Is Rare in Golden British Cats

Golden British lines already rely on complex genetics involving:

CORIN,
wideband/polygenes,
tabby modifiers,
dilution,
and selective coat brightness.

Adding DBE into such programs is still relatively uncommon.

In Zabava’s case, the combination is exceptionally attractive because she combines:

pastel lilac golden shell coloration,
CORIN golden genetics,
white bicolor pattern,
and expressive deep blue eyes.

This creates a very unique visual appearance.

The uploaded photo also clearly shows:

pale warm golden shading,
white bicolor distribution,
and vivid naturally blue eyes consistent with DBE phenotype.

Inheritance of DBE

The trait is called Dominant Blue Eye because:

only one parent carrying DBE may pass it to kittens,
and offspring may inherit blue eyes even without colourpoint pattern.

However, DBE genetics is still an actively developing research area. Different DBE lines may involve different mutations and phenotypic expressions depending on breed and lineage.

Expression may vary:

deep sapphire blue,
aqua,
odd eyes,
or varying white pattern associations.

Responsible DBE Breeding

Because DBE is still relatively new in many breeding programs, responsible breeders pay special attention to:

hearing status,
eye quality,
overall health,
genetic diversity,
and careful line selection.

At Vlastar Lux Cattery, DBE cats are combined with:

DNA testing,
hereditary disease screening,
blood group management,
and carefully selected pedigrees

to preserve not only beauty, but also long-term health and breed quality.

Dominant Blue Eyes (DBE)

Zabava is a naturally blue-eyed British Shorthair female expressing the rare Dominant Blue Eye (DBE) trait.

Unlike traditional colourpoint blue eyes, DBE blue eyes can appear together with fully pigmented golden coat colours and white patterning, creating exceptionally striking combinations.

In Zabava, the combination of:

lilac golden shell coloration,
CORIN golden genetics,
white bicolor pattern,
and vivid blue eyes

creates a truly rare and unique phenotype highly appreciated in modern breeding programs.

Our Breeding Philosophy

At Vlastar Lux Cattery, DNA testing is an essential part of ethical and professional breeding.

We use genetic analysis to:

reduce hereditary disease risks,
carefully plan breeding combinations,
preserve valuable golden and rare traits,
improve breed quality,
and provide transparency for future owners and breeders.

Responsible breeding means combining beauty, health, temperament and science.
