Introduction

The idea for the Tonkinese Pedigree database was born in 2004; the realization of the database is the result of the collaboration between the IG Tonkanese und Tibeter (Interest Group Tonkinese and Tibetan, Germany), which also hosts the database and me, Monika Wernli, the initiator of the project and also the main administrator.
At this point I would like to express my gratitude to the following individuals without whom this database would not have been possible:

    - Ger Versluis, from Romaeh Koetjing Burmese, for modifying and installing his database scripts for us
    - Katja Pelzer, from Tonkanesen vom Wachenbachtal, for her help in setting up the hosting
    - Silke Lautz, Tonkanesen von Lenné, for her support
    - and all the people who have been kind enough to send me their cat's pedigrees

Aim

The aim of the Tonkinese Pedigree Database project is to collect and enter as many pedigrees of Tonkinese as possible into the database and in this way to charter the development of the breed.
Over time, as more pedigrees are entered into the database, it is also intended as a tool for breeders to plan matings or to select a new queen/stud that will compliment their existing cats' bloodlines.
The database is public, so everybody interested can consult it.

How it works

Everybody who owns a Tonkinese (or a Tibetan, the semi-longhaired variant of the Tonkinese) can submit their cat's data. In order not to exceed the limits of the database, for 1. Generation Tonkinese (Siamese x Burmese) only the parents will be entered, but no further generations (except in cases where the parent of the 1. Generation Tonkinese is itself a Tonkinese).
Those interested in the non-Tonkinese ancestors of their cats should go to the respective breed databases:

for Burmese:
    - Burmese Pedigree database (© maintained by Ger Versluis)
for Siamese and Oriental breeds:
    - Ardeleana Cattery database (© maintained by Thom Bloks)
    - Su-Bali & KLM database (© maintained by Kris Willison)
    - CFA Siamese Breed Council database (© maintained by Mike Franks)

What to submit

For each cat you should submit:
    Name and title (the title can be changed at a later date)
    Sex
    Breed and color
    Registration No.
    Country (where it was bred)
    Parents (name of sire and dam)
    DoB
    Photo (ideally a portrait photo of 120 x 120px)

How to submit data

You can either use the submit form in the pedigree, or you can type the data into an e-mail and send it directly, or in form of a pedigree either in jpg or pdf format to monziponzi@datacomm.ch.
Alternatively you can also submit pedigrees via regular mail (please send photocopies only, as I won't be able to return them) to the following mail address:
