Registration Codes

When breeding Savannah cats the specifics can become confusing.

Listed below are the A,B,C & 1,2,3,4,5, etc. Registration Codes.

Ancestry Record Code for Savannah Cats: (Serval cats are an unregistered breed.)

Hybridization Codes: (Example: F4A)

Stud Book Codes:

SB- The cat has no cats which are unknown, unregistered, or of another breed or breed group within a standard three generation pedigree.

Codes:

The Following Codes apply to the third position of the pedigree status code.
T- Traditional: Only the breed in question within a three generation pedigree
V- Variant: Crosses outside the breed but within the group within a three generation pedigree
P- Permissible: Crosses outside the breed or breed group which are permitted by the breeding program which has been established for the breed.
N- Non-Permissible: Crosses outside the breed or breed group which are not among those which are specifically allowed by the breeding program which has been established for the breed.
S- Species: Outcrosses to species other than Felis cats/Felis domesticus. Such crosses may be used in foundation breeding programs but are by definition considered non-permissible.

For Example:

Our F1 Savannah “Dora” would be TICA registered as an F1A.

F1 - (one parent is not registered, which is the Serval, but can now be registered for breeding purposes only)
A – (the cat is a product of two different breeds - Felis domesticus & Serval)

Dora’s offspring would be TICA registered as F2B.

F2- (the kittens have a Serval grandparent.
B – (the kitten's parents are Both Savannah's but kitten has a grandparent Serval)

All ears!
