Starting from 1st january 2024 the cost for advertising on this website will be 50 SEK annually.
This is necessary and should cover the cost of the domain and web space paid privately so far, just like our brochures and postage.
Advertisers who have not paid will be removed.
Those who supported the website this year will still be here in 2024.
I ask every Bombay exhibitior in FIFe to continuously submit judgements and diplomas so nothing can be missed and left behind.
As I am the BC secretary, I keep all documentation about this.
I also ask for documentation about litters, pedigrees and tests.
A minimum of 40 cats must be shown at minimum 3 different catshows by 3 different judges (contrasign is possible). Atleast 15 of these cats must have reached IC/IP and the title must be registrated.
15 litters must have been registrated from 1/1 until we go for full recognition. One year must have passed before we can go for full recognition. We have 5 years to arrive at full recognition.
On page 19 you can read the proposal for preliminary recognition.
We are happy to announce that we are going to The FIFe General Assembly in Pilsen in may 2022 for the preliminary recognition of Bombay in FIFe!
This is fantastic news!
So why not join us on the ”Dark side”!
All documents were sent to the relevant FIFe comissions.
Now we look forward to the FIFe GA in Czech Republic in the end of may 2022
Against the will of he Bombay BC, FIFe BRC submits a proposal on registration rules for Bombay.
This will make it impossible for us to cross out with Burmese as they must be free tested from dilution and chocolate predisposition. The other cat organizations where Bombay is recognized have absolutely no restrictions regarding recessive colour genes and we also believe that it will be very difficult to find suitable Burmese (without chocolate/dilution) to contribute to our breeding program.
These two sentences MUST be deleted:
”When preliminary recognition is achieved the BUR n used for outcross must be tested free of the chocolate and dilution gene. This allowance will be deleted when full recognition is obtained.”
Over the last 18 months the BOM non BC has continued to supply information regarding the development of the breed within FIFe. The BOM non BC has received no official response from FIFe regarding these submissions. The BOM non BC is surprised to read FIFe BRC proposal No 9 regarding our breed when Article 10 of the FIFe Breeding and Registration Rules states that breed specific registration rules should accompany the application for preliminary recognition.

I am sad to inform you that FUFe Breeding and Registration Comission turned down our request for preliminary recognition.
We are not going to Riga this year.
At the moment the Breed Council for Bombay don’t know if it’s worth the struggle to continue. We are a few people working with this, in fact we are two.
The 29th of december 2019 all documents were sent to the relevant FIFe comissions.
Now we look forward to the FIFe GA in Riga in the end of may 2020.
