Update: Comments have now been turned off to reduce any confusion in unofficial answers to questions. Any queries regarding the new policy should be directed to the GCCF Office in the first instance.

The British Shorthair Breed Advisory Committee has implemented an amendment to the British Shorthair Registration Policy regarding the Dominant Blue Eyes (DBE) genes.

With immediate effect, blue-eyed or odd-eyed cats of British Shorthair lineage in any colour or pattern other than epistatic dominant white, colourpointed, or colourpointed and white, will no longer be accepted as British Shorthairs in GCCF registrations.

The amended policy states:
Blue-eyed/odd-eyed cats of BSH appearance in any pattern other than epistatic dominant white, colourpointed or colourpointed & white shall be registered on the Reference Register with no progression as no recognised breed (XSH) and are not acceptable in the pedigrees of British Shorthairs.

As a result, any kittens expressing the Dominant Blue Eye trait and falling within the above description will be registered as Unrecognised Shorthair (XSH) on the Reference Register (not to be shown) and will not be eligible for progression within the British Shorthair breed. Unrecognised breeds/cats cannot be used for breeding.

This change applies to registrations submitted from the date the amended policy came into effect (27/06/26). Breeders with existing or planned matings involving DBE lines are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the updated policy before undertaking any matings relating to these genes.

Any queries regarding the new policy should be directed to the GCCF Office in the first instance.

Although I have no plans for kittens in 2026, I have made the decision that any future kittens will be sold as pets or show neuters, nothing will be sold on the active register.

Posting on behalf of a friend. Located in Scotland.

This is Aurora, she is a choc tortie Selkirk Rex straight-hair. She is looking for a new understanding home as her BSH buddy was killed by a car and her owners feel she would be better in a home with company, she is also used to well-behaved dogs. Spayed. Indoor homes ONLY. If you contact me, I will put you in touch with her breeder, who is assisting with the rehoming. There will be a rehoming fee.

This is why I insist Selkirk Rex kittens go to houses with feline company. These aren't littermates, they aren't even related and they hadn't even met each other this time last week. But look how happy they are together.

Let’s talk about responsible breeding – and the hate we get for it.
Yes, I’m a breeder.
Yes, I breed cats — with intention, with education, with full dedication.
And guess what?

Without breeders, there would be no such thing as a breed.
No British Shorthairs. No Maine C***s. No Ragdolls. Nothing.
Just a random mix of whatever survived.

So maybe—just maybe—stop demonising responsible breeders.
🔬 We do health checks.
🧬 We do genetic testing.
🐾 We select for stable temperaments.
❤️‍🩹 We raise kittens with love, structure, and science behind every decision.

And yes — we learn constantly. Veterinary care, nutrition, behaviour, epigenetics — this isn’t a “hobby,” it’s a lifestyle.

Do bad breeders exist? Sure.
Just like bad rescues exist.
Just like bad doctors, bad teachers, bad everything.
But saying “all breeders are evil” is as ignorant as saying all shelters are just hoarders.
(And let’s not pretend some shelters aren’t making a nice income by holding animals “indefinitely” and charging “adoption fees” higher than many breeders.)

If ethical breeders stop, who’s going to preserve health, type, and temperament in cats?
The street?
You don’t have to like breeders.
But maybe stop attacking the ones who are actually doing it right.
Because guess what?
We’re not the problem.
We’re part of the solution.

NOW HOMED.

I would like to find a home for two of my mature girls, Moffat and her daughter Charm. Moffat is black & white heterozygous and Charm is a seal tortie straighthair. Both are spayed. Charm dotes on her mother so they need to go together. They are indoor cats so they need to be kept inside or have access only to a catio or cat-secure garden. A small rehoming fee to cover costs. If you are genuinely interested in these girls please message me through this page, thank you.
