Dear members,
it is not allowed to transfer WOC pedigrees to WCF pedigrees.
The Board
2020-06-01
Informations non autorisées sur les pedigrees WCF
1. Il n’est pas permis de certifier la qualité d’un chat sur un pedigree WCF. Toutes les remarques sur la qualité d’un chat telles que la qualité d’exposition, la qualité d’élevage, la qualité d’animal de compagnie ou des mots similaires, ne peuvent pas être affichées sur le pedigree WCF. La seule remarque autorisée sur le pedigree WCF est “Pas pour la race”, ce qui implique des raisons génétiques ou des défauts génétiques ou par un accord dans le contrat de vente.
2. Il est interdit d’afficher les identifiants Top Cat ou les identifiants des arganisations sur les pedigrees avec le logo WCF. Cependant, cette restriction ne s’applique pas au numéro de pedigree d’origine lorsqu’un chat d’autres associations est transféré au système WCF.
Tout pedigree émis en violation de cette règle est considéré comme invalide et doit être réémis en conséquence.
Le club responsable qui a émis cet pedigree pourrait également faire l’objet d’une procédure disciplinaire.

Judge activities in other associations
Dear WCF judges,
please note the following existing WCF rule:
WCF judges (judges with a WCF exam and / or judges with a WCF judge’s license) judge only at WCF exhibitions in accordance with the WCF standard.
http://www.wcf-online.de/WCF-EN/regeln/richterregeln-2.html
This rule has hardly been applied in the past. We feel compelled to change this after the increased incidents in recent times.
As of May 15th, 2020, all judges send an informal application for planned invitations from Non-WCF/WCC/LOOF-clubs for permission to the chairman of the Judges commission at least 4 weeks in advance:
wcf.trautmann@gmx.de

Modification des frais et des délais pour les licences d’exposition WCF
Chers membres,
Comme vous vous en souvenez, lors de notre Assemblée générale, 2019 a été proposé de raccourcir la période de candidature de 6 à 4 semaines, malheureusement cette proposition n’a pas été acceptée.
En raison du fait que nous passons constamment beaucoup de temps sur les e-mails concernant les “autorisations spéciales pour les demandes tardives”, le conseil a décidé de modifier les frais dans de tels cas afin d’optimiser et d’accélérer le processus organisationnel.
Nous demandons également de respecter les délais indiqués dans la liste afin que nos gestionnaires de licences puissent traiter vos modifications de licence de manière efficace et dans les délais.
Cette décision du conseil d’administration avec caractère de règle entrera en vigueur le 1er avril 2020 et sera présentée à la prochaine Assemblée générale pour vote.

3 générations signifient: le chaton, les parents et les grands-parents.
Cette décision du conseil avec caractère de règle entre en vigueur dès publication et sera mise au vote à la prochaine Assemblée générale.

Matings of golden with silver cats
Dear members, dear judges,
constantly golden and silver cats are seen on WCF shows with severe color defaults, mainly at the British Shorthair in golden. In the meantime, serious color faults such as no nose or eye surroundings or wrong colors on the paws were also found in silver cats.
The WCF Board has therefore decided the following:
To protect breeders and cats, matings between golden and silver cats are forbidden from April 1st, 2020 until further genetic researchs have been carried out to determine which gene it is and ensure that this gene, in addition to the color faults, cannot cause any other genetic defects in offsprings.
Offsprings with the characteristics described above, which have fallen in these matings, can only receive a RIEX pedigree with the EMS color code “x” due to this non-recognized color.
The pedigree must also be marked with “Not for breeding”, so please inform your breeders and your trainee clubs that these cats may not be sold for breeding before the genetic tests have been completed.
Cats with the above-mentioned color fault may only be exhibited with EMS colorcode “x” in the show class 24 – unrecognized colors / breeds – and may therefore not receive a title or participate in the Best in Show.
If these cats are registered in the wrong color and presented to the judge for assessment, they have to be rewritten by the judge to class 24. Likewise, no title may be awarded.
Cats with these color faults can only participate in the Variety Ring.
