【TICAルール改正①】BGの「Charcoal」を認める改正案

1月15～16日に開催予定の2020 Winter Board Meetingにおいて、BGの「Charcoal」を認める改正案が出されます。

ちなみに、「Charcoal」の定義は下記のようになっており、

UCD71.8.3 Charcoal Tabby - A pattern effect caused by an agouti variant affecting pigment distribution. It is characterized as an increase in dark pigment wherever pigment is already present on the tabby coat. This creates multiple pattern effects on the coat such as darker ground and marking coloration, a broader dorsal stripe, and/or a noticeably darker coloration along the nose bridge and cheek bones, which are accented by near white goggles encircling the eyes. Charcoal is a tabby pattern effect and not a color. All patterns of the charcoal tabby are possible, as are all basic eumelanistic colors. The charcoal effect is the result of the use of the Asian Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) in the development of the Bengal breed.

74.2.4 Charcoal tabbies are the result of a pattern effect caused by an agouti variant affecting pigment distribution. It is a dominant trait caused by the APb gene.
