The British Shorthair Breed Advisory Committee has implemented an amendment to the British Shorthair Registration Policy regarding the Dominant Blue Eyes (DBE) genes.
With immediate effect, blue-eyed or odd-eyed cats of British Shorthair lineage in any colour or pattern other than epistatic dominant white, colourpointed, or colourpointed and white, will no longer be accepted as British Shorthairs in GCCF registrations.
The amended policy states:
Blue-eyed/odd-eyed cats of BSH appearance in any pattern other than epistatic dominant white, colourpointed or colourpointed & white shall be registered on the Reference Register with no progression as no recognised breed (XSH) and are not acceptable in the pedigrees of British Shorthairs.
As a result, any kittens expressing the Dominant Blue Eye trait and falling within the above description will be registered as Unrecognised Shorthair (XSH) on the Reference Register (not to be shown) and will not be eligible for progression within the British Shorthair breed. Unrecognised breeds/cats cannot be used for breeding.
This change applies to registrations submitted from the date the amended policy came into effect (27/06/26). Breeders with existing or planned matings involving DBE lines are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the updated policy before undertaking any matings relating to these genes.
Any queries regarding the new policy should be directed to the GCCF Office in the first instance.

I’m super curious to see what specific sorts of equines roam the wilds of tumblr.. If you happen to be an equine of a specific kind, please reblog and tag your breed/species!
One of our headmates, Cathaoir, is a púca and specifically manifests as an all black Irish Sport Horse (ISH/Irish Hunter) most of the time. He also considers herself to be a Kelpie and Bäckahäst broadly, and typically just uses the phrase "shapeshifting horse" when talking about himself in broad terms.
2 different aspects of myself are horses and also unicorns (the latter of which are indeed related to equines in my noemata, but are very much their own separate creature). I've considered pegasus as well as winged unicorns in the past, but somehow they don't quite stay long.
