Oriental Longhair Breed Numbers and Colours
With such a wide range of colours and patterns in a single breed of cat, the numbers on a pedigree can be very confusing.
This is a list of breed numbers for all the recognised colours of Oriental Longhair. The basic breed number is 62. To define the pattern and colour, this is followed by a further number and letter(s) which are based mainly on the numbers used for British Shorthairs, with additions where the pattern or colour does not exist in that breed. (This system is also used for other breeds with multiple patterns & colours, such as Main Coons, Norwegian Forest Cats and Rexes.) It looks chaotic, but it does have a kind of logic!
All patterns of Tabby (Ticked, Spotted, Mackerel and Classic) share a single breed number for each colour because the actual tabby pattern is not a very important feature of the breed.
