How to Fill in the Standard
Here is the not so short explanation of the Breed Standard Template and the Template itself.
Legend:
* - Description can be mandatory or optional punkt. Though all other lines in each section are mandatory!
If you skip neck description, you still need to choose it`s types etc.
** - traits that are not linked to genes in game and can be decided by owner.
You can see those lines on import template also.
Name of the Breed:
Pretty logical and self-explanatory. Must be PG-13, serious, adequate and appropriate. Must contain the word "Shedu" as horse breeds contain word "horse" in their official name.
Origin:
Where this breed came from. Most likely it will be the homeland of your cattery and cat yard. Otherwise, you may choose to come up with a logical story why it is different than your cattery's home.
Date of Publication of the Original Valid Standard:
Add here the date on which you sent the completed document to the Shedu group.
Utilization:
Working cat
Sport (show jumping/cross country)
Racing (flat & steeple)
Endurance
Dressage
Driving
Show (agility + halter + liberty)
Fighting
Kid`s sports (possible for "pony" breeds)
Of course, almost all Shedu cats can perform all or most of these actions.Your task is to list one or two primary specializations. Also, notice, that this list can be longer. Your breed specialization, for example, can be kid`s sports or western dressage or driving etc.
Classification:
Thoroughbred
Breed that is established on base of only Classic Shedu cats with no other blood involved. Any Asian or Komainu specific pattern or colour in breed standard automatically moves breed to "classic" category.
Classic
Breed, that is established on base of Classic Shedu cats, keep the looks (Body lineart) of classic cats and have no more, then 25% of foreign blood.
Panthera
Breed based on Baketora or Komainu crosses with Classics. Anything that has more, then 24% of either Baketora or Komainu blood and looks differently from both Asian and Classics counts here. Important! No Bayun blood may be present!
Lynx
Breed based on Asian Shedu cats with any kind of blood mixtures, that keeps Asian blood level no less then 50%
Pure Asian
Breed based ONLY on Asian Shedu cats.
Feloidea
Breed that is either based on Bayun blood or on Djibb blood. Any mixture that has Bayun or Djibb blood will go under this classification.
Brief Historical Summary:
This part might seem like least important one, but it is not! We will look closely on the idea behind the breed and it`s story. It must be logical and must fit Shedu cats' lore and the classic setting of Sheduverse.
Small tip: Any breed can not be older then late 1980`s-early 1990`s.
General Appearance:
Description:
Here is one more "important part".
Here you need to describe your perfect individual of the breed. Describe. That means to create an impression with words. Not just put several desirable genes. Why that is so important? Because often breed standard describes the phenotype. How animal must look like, and not what makes the animal look exactly like that.
However, in each punkt that you need to describe there is a line where you need to write core genes, or built etc.
But it can not go without description, and the description can`t go without those lines.

Character/Personality:
This part will actually depend on inborn Temperament stats. Because of this, it can be adjusted to what your actual Starters and First cats of the breed will have, from what you put on approval stage.
Your description must be based on next guidelines:
1-10 tem = hell cat
10-20 tem = so-so cat
30-40 tem = nice good cat
40-50 tem = cuddly, loyal, loving etc
Faults:
Description: (optional)
Here goes traits, looks that are acceptable, but will bring penalties
List:
Put those in a row in form of actual traits/genos/phenos. For example: Black base (ee/aa/tt), Heavy built, Ram profile etc
Disqualifying Faults:
Description: (optional)
Here goes traits, looks that are NOT acceptable. These will lead to disqualification of animal
List:
Put those in a row in form of actual traits/genos/phenos. For example: Black base (ee/aa/tt), Heavy built, Ram profile etc
Breed SPC Test Guidelines:
You`ll need to fill that out only on final stage, when you will present your breed with your starters and first cats of the breed.
It must look like one of SPC line requirements, for example: Spartak Line
Short rules on how to build up your requirements chart:
Penalties:
Serious ones: (No more, then 5)
These include those faults that are bad for cat`s health, make it almost impossible to use cat as it is intended.
Value:
Disqulification - Scratches the cat out. May be set only to very serious faults. Silky, deafness are not on this list.
- 50 points
- 40
- 30
Middle range: (no more, then 5) Not so bad faults, but undesired in this exact breed/type
Value:
- 20 (rare)
- 10
Minor range: (as many, as you wish)
Value:
- 10 (rare)
- 5
Bonuses: (up to 20)
Bonuses are easier, then penalties, YET, they have a tricky side.
In theory there must be one or better two ways, when cat can have up to 70 bonus points. (minimal is 50 when maximum is 70)
For example, cat (normally, if they are not chimeric animal) can not be black and tan in same time.
But cat can be tan, double pearl, double cream, wild dun piebald silver partial melanistic...And so on.
I hope, you got the idea.
Anyways, fear not. Admins will help to adjust this chart, if it will be needed.
+ 20 (VERY RARE)
+ 10 (RARE)
+ 5
