- Did You
Know This?
- -Caramel is produced by the effect of the dominant dilute modifier
(Dm).
- The Dilute modifier gene has no effect on
Seal, Chocolate, Cinnamon or Red, so can be passed down many
generations, "hidden" under these colours, only showing
itself when dilute colour is produced.
The dilute modifier gene has been present in Siamese for many years,
certainly since the acceptance of Tabby Points, and was probably
introduced via one of the outcross matings, which introduced the tabby
pattern into the Siamese. Caramel Tabby and Apricot Tabby Points, plus
a few Caramel Points, have cropped up over the years, have often been
sold as pets as being 'poor colour' kittens, or appeared on the bench
under various guises. Text from
Appeljacks (UK)
And now......the first Caramel tabby
Birmans have been registed....
Take a good look at your own cats. -If you have tabby in your
breedinglines and dilution....you might just have one or two yourself.
