BRI ay 12 — golden chinchilla (shell)

Her genetic structure provides:

strong CORIN golden expression
very light, clean shell tipping
dilute background influence softening tone
excellent potential for bright, clear green eye color

She is a very elegant, balanced representative of modern golden chinchilla type.

Blood Group & Breeding Compatibility

✨ Introduction

Vlastar Lux HONEYMOON is a beautiful British Shorthair female in the rare and delicate blue golden chinchilla (shell) colour. She perfectly embodies the refined elegance of the British golden line. She combines an excellent pedigree with a soft, harmonious type. Her charming temperament is also noteworthy.

HONEYMOON has a very light shell tipping, giving her coat an airy, luminous appearance. As a kitten, her exceptionally pale tipping and soft pink paw pads were reminiscent of lilac tones. This made her colour difficult to distinguish. Initially, she was thought to be lilac golden. With maturity, her true blue golden shell colouring revealed itself beautifully.

She has large, round eyes of a pure green shade. They are well-coloured and free from yellow tones. These features enhance her gentle and expressive look. Her type is balanced and correct. She has good bone structure and a solid, feminine format. This is appropriate for a British Shorthair female.

Beyond her exterior, HONEYMOON is valued for her gentle, affectionate, and calm personality. She is people‑oriented and easy to handle. She is a pleasure to have in the cattery. These qualities reflect the best character traits of the breed.

She comes from an excellent pedigree, uniting strong lines known for type, health, and coat quality. DNA testing has been completed and results are pending.
