Outcross breeds permitted by the GCCF
A wide range of breeds has been permitted for outcrossing during this early development of LaPerms in the UK in order to establish a large healthy gene pool.
Outcross Breeds
At this time no approval has been asked for to use other breeds as outcrosses.
Outcross: Breeding of two cats together that don't have an ancestors in common for a minimum of three generations.
Overshot Jaw: The lower jaw that stands out abnormally.

Outcrossing the Bobtail to domestic stock is still allowable. The goal is to keep the gene pool healthy since it is still quite small. Neither Manx nor Japanese Bobtails are used in the matrix, nor are bobcats bred into the existing lines.
Outcrosses have not been a part of the Exotic breeding program since 1975, when the gene pool was deemed large enough to reliably produce both vigorous and attractive cats that met the standard.
In TICA outcrossing has mainly been with domestic cats and breeders seek out non-pedigree cats closely resembling the correct body type, ...
With careful outcrossing, the Birman was reestablished and by 1955 Birmans began to be exported to England. They were officially recognized as a purebred breed in Britain in 1966.
even though allowed outcrosses include American Shorthairs and British Shorthairs. The Fold does not necessarily resemble the American Shorthair's hard, powerful "working cat" body and squared-off muzzle.
Jane Martinke noticed the effect the outcrosses had on the American type and coat as well as the attractiveness of the kittens. She proposed a new breed, called the Sterling because of their lovely silver color.
Due to the occasional outcrossing with the American Shorthair cat, the body type of these two breeds became very similar although the Wirehair has a slightly more rounded head and prominent cheekbones.
They are descended from the Russian Don Hairless breed with outcrosses to Oriental and Siamese cats. They are unrelated to the Sphynx, as the gene that causes the hairlessness is different.
Red, cream, tortie and lynx (tabby) points are created by outcrossing to other breeds; some associations classify these cats as the Colorpoint breed.
Grooming: Many enjoy a good brushing but basically maintain themselves.
During the early days of the Scottish Fold's development, outcrosses with other non-pedigreed shorthairs were made. Eventually, purebred British Shorthairs were incorporated to help standardize the Scottish Fold's type.
She was able to produce this new breed over a careful inbreeding and outcrossing process. which began with a black American Shorthair male with copper eye color and a Champion Burmese sable female.
Although the outcross was originally conceived as being a hybrid American Shorthair with Persian, the rules were broadly interpreted at first, and any CFA-registered shorthair could be used as a cross.
The most obvious one is the improved gene pool of domestic bloodlines that are then recorded and made available as approved outcrosses for some of the newer breeds, such as LaPerms and Munchkins, ...
However, outcrosses to other breedss have expanded the color palette. The breed now comes in solid black, cinnamon, blue, lilac and fawn. Their solid Chocolate color is rich with lightening occurring towards the underside.
In 1987, the CFA closed the exotic to shorthair outcrosses altogether, leaving the Persian as the only allowable outcross.
Glitter: Comes from a domestic outcross into the first Bengal cats. It is a simple recessive giving a metallic look to the hair and a softer texture. While unique to the Bengal cat it is not required and should not be a considering factor ...
With the mix of recessive genes introduced via likely initial outcrossing, it is not surprising that fluffy, long haired and oddly coloured kittens were said to appear during early breeding programs.
Bengal cats originated by breeding a domestic cat to an Asian wild cat, then developed by outcrossing with several other breeds. The amount of "wild" genes is now said to be about 10%.
Sphynx were at one time crossbred with Devon Rex in an attempt to strengthen this gene, but unfortunately this led to serious dental or nervous-system problems and is now forbidden in most breed standards associations. The only allowable outcross ...
The Bombay was accepted by CFA in 1976. Outcrossing to both sable Burmese and black American Shorthairs is still allowed by CFA, although the Bombay is a true breed with its own particular look and characteristics.

As most of the Siamese used for outcrossing are of the Traditional (or Applehead) type, the Snowshoe has a rounded triangular head, flat forehead and largish ears with rounded tips.
This practice came to an end when the breed was closed to outcross breeding in 1974.
Well-bred Bengal's are active, intelligent companions, but buyers are advised to use caution since those within 3 generations of the wild outcross may still exhibit the wild temperament of their wild ancestors.
Kallibunker was mated back to his mother in August 1952 and produced a normal coated female and two males, one of which later died. After inbreeding this line as far as was considered reasonable the Cornish Rex was outcrossed to short haired cats.
are more than twenty varieties including black, blue, reddish fur. They come in tabby and tabby-white, along with smoke varieties, and are in every color other than pointed, lavender, and cinnamon (all of which would indicate breeding to an outcross).
In order to preserve this recessive mutation, the breeding program combined inbreeding with outcrosses to Siamese, British Shorthairs, and Burmese. In 1967, the Cornish Rex was officially recognized in England. In 1960, Professor E.
By the early 1980's the Ocicat was increasing in popularity and the breed gained provisional status in America and outcrosses to any breed except Abyssinian was stopped. The breed achieved Championship status in America in 1987.
