Breeding TURKISH VAN Cats - Colour Expectations

Below is a simple chart showing the possible colours to be obtained from mating the different GCCF recognised colours together.

The colours in brackets would only be produced if both cats carry the recessive dilute gene.

To have a tabby offspring, only one parent needs to be a tabby. It is probable that many of the Auburn or Cream cats are tabbies, although selfs and tabbies are not split under GCCF registration. Therefore, matings using Auburn or Cream cats (who may themselves be tabbies) could produce tabbies as shown below.

N.B, Auburn/Cream x Auburn/Cream matings can only produce the traditional colours of Auburn or Cream.
