After a long and arduous journey the Blues have won acceptance to compete in CFA show rings commencing with the 2009-2010 show season. Congratulations to all of the breeders that worked so hard to establish a standard approved by the Silver and Golden Breed Council and CFA. The standards for each of the four newly approved colors are as follows:

Note about The GCCF and Blue Chinchilla and Blue Shaded (Silver & Gold) Persians: submitted by Carole Gainsbury of Great Britain of Caszan Persians: The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) in the UK at the moment does not recognise the blue Golden or Blue Silvers, however, they are discussing it in January 2012 and it should go through without any problems this time and hopefully we all will be able to show and make them up the champions and grand champions or even Olympians from June 2012 if all goes well. CH Caszan Blue Thunder made champion in the Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) shows and he became best Persian twice in two FIFe shows.

Please refer to Pamela Martin's article Singing the Blues for more information about our Blue Silvers and Goldens and the quest involved for their acceptance for Championship status in CFA.

Wyndcreste Silver Persians has not been blessed with any Blue Silver or Blue Golden Persians to date, but may in the future--stay-tuned!
