Minuet coat colors and patterns
The second breed in our files, after its own Munchkin parent, whose registry standard carries no color exclusion list at all: 'COLORS: All', no named exceptions. It goes one step further than the Munchkin. The standard's own 'PERMISSIBLE OUTCROSSES: Persian Breed Group, Munchkin Breed Group' line names the exact channel through which pointed patterning, chocolate and lilac, excluded by most breeds, entered this gene pool. TICA defines the Persian Group as Persian, Himalayan and Exotic combined, so the Minuet inherits the whole palette.
