Peculiarities of pedigree work with color

Owner often solve the problem of perfection of type to the rejudice of the color's quality. Especially strong this problem stands for Bicolors, Harlequins and Vans. It is considered that to improve the color, it is necessary to limit the pedigree work with copulations 'within itself' (i.e. bicolors with bicolors). But in this case it has to pay an attention on the dose of gene S. So, for Bicolors with not enough developed pegenes it should choose partners - Harlequins, and for animals with single disseminations of white (what is non-accepted for Persians) the best pair will be Bicolor with big quantity of white. At that white piebaldness of Van color is slightly isolated from other particolored colors. Cats with such allocation of white spots are recommended to breed without using other white-piebald and colored variations to avoid appearance of colored spots in on-accepted places (for example, on the back).

Though, gene S is considered to be prepotent, and Bicolors - heterozygotes along it, allocation of spots and correspondence of colors is regulated not only by S allele, but groups of genes - modifiers. That's why if is intended the copulation of Bicolor cat with onecolored cat, there are more chances to recieve wittingly good correspondence of colors in kittens in that case if cat's mother or father had qualitative bicolored color. It is necessary for owners to pay attention on this by choosing of sires in the nursery.

Earlier it is considered that by many copulations of Bicolors between themselves accumulation of white color happens and color Bicolor gradually changes into Harlequin. But to the contrary of this statesment nurseries, stably breeding bicolored animals without systematically top removal Harlequins and one-colored individuals. Obviously, gene of white piebaldness is quite exposed to stabilization by planned selection.

Peculiarity of grooming

As Persians of any other color, Bicolors is neede in everyday and special exhibition grooming. Great second helping to their ration will serve sea algae and betacarotine, making the eye color brighter and color of coat contraster. However, preparing of animals, having two or three colors in the color (for calico) become difficult dy impossibility of using of colored shampoos. Also the standard of Bicolor requires for distinct differentiationof colors, which in case of necessity is acheived with the help of trimming of white hairs, situated on the colored parts. As it is impossible to use colored shampoos, medicinal shampoos, which improve the quality of hair, and balsams, containing sea algae will help. Directly on the show it is able to use special fluffing schaums and sprays, making the hair brighter.
