Our own WORK
We
had started in july 1999 with the arrive of two Peterbald imported
from Saint Peterburgs, Russia. They were F2 From the original
breding programs of Olga Miranova. They were in two diferent
quality of “kind of hair”, in “hairless patern
distribution” and type quality. The female was a velour
coat restricted to the point (in heterocigousis:HL-hl) and the
male was an ultrahairless (by breeder´s word was in Homozigousis:
HL-HL).
Our
F1 consited in the introdution of the HL gene in our bloodlines.
We begun mated the male with all diferents lines of siamese
/ oriental thet we had and even the female. This F1 worked over
Heterocigousis. We had analized the HL gene transmitance and
expretion in heterocigousis. Later of same time we used again
the PD femalewith the Pd male, over homozigousis of both imported
cats. We had the chance to had selected new PDs with better
type than imported ones.
Our
F2 consited in analize the expretion of HL gene in probably
homozigousis. More rigorous selecction over the type and the
wanted traits. We could comparate with the previous expretion
HL gen in F1.
In
our F2 and F3 we work to try to introduce the pointed pattern
and the dilutes color genes (chocolate and lilac).
InF3
and , F4 and next we have decided to work only in heterozigousis
and we try to achieve the introduction of the earset genepool
for position, wide and size. At the same time we continue working
on the variably hairless distribution or patterns, the marked
“variation of hair kind, Quality and type” and the
combination of these both making the diferents kind of coats.
We became to work too with the introduction of the bicolor gene.
As
breeders, we always improve our lines with selective breeding
and the introduction of more desirable genetic material. By
this reason, we will continue also cross them with new extremely
lines of Oriental Shorthairs and Siamese cats That situation
had included that our Peterbald cats only will be heterozygous
(for the Russian hairloosing gene HL-hl) and we did not work
in developing homozygous lines like the rest of the catteries,
in consecuense, our cats would be crossed with any other Peterbald
for homozygosis programs surely (probably) without problems.
All the straight haired kittens are neutered and are no longer
being used in breeding programs because they could have the
same genetics alleles that given us in the future a same sort
of problems or genetic erosion by decreases of gene pool.
