Notes
There is no breed more iconic to the traditional Petz pose show community than the Calico. Beloved by mixie breeders for years due to its fun, sweet personality and high potential for creating multi-coloured, unique offspring, Calicos have always had a loyal fan following. Many a PKC member had their first show experience with a Calico, with their heart-shaped nose leaving a little digital stamp in our hearts. There were two varieties accepted in PKC: Traditional and Modern. Traditional is a refined, realistically-coloured version of the original PF Magic Calico pattern, with varying levels of faults for mismatched patches and ballz. Modern is based on realistic cat patterns, and accepts white patterns defined by the Docs and real cat standards.
The Calico is a breed invented by PF Magic, reflecting their belief that breeds are defined purely by colour. The standard has been developed by PKC, using traditional Petz Community factors. Unlike all other PKC breeds, male Calicos are allowed to be registered. UKC has continued PKC's standard.
Type & Judging Remarks
The Calico is always friendly, and an aggressive show pose is not allowed. Uneven eyelids and slight tail kinks are very common in the breed and should not be heavily penalized. There is no preference for “patchiness” versus “patchless”, provided the patch colours match the rest of the cat.
