BLUE-EYED HIGHLANDER

Patrice Tremblay introduced (Chatterie de l'Olynx, Québec, Canada) the DBE gene in Highlanders from Nikital Jaguar of Olynx under the Chats Canada Cats. The gene hasn't be tested and could come from either Roxi or from Seymour.

Breed Standard adopted by Highland Lynx / Highlander: All colours are allowed, except colours derived from the white spotting (Ws) gene. The colour is appropriate with the leather of the pads and the nose. Eye colour is independent of the colour, except in the "pointed" patterns. White lockets, buttons or toes are accepted only with the blue-eyed gene with minimal white markings. Thus, #3 of the General Preface does not apply to cats with the blue-eyed gene with minimal white markings.
