The Russian Breed Advisory Committee (better known as the RBAC) is currently comprised of members of the RBBA committee plus an independent Chairman who is Mrs. Maria Chapman-Beer. Maria is a Breeder of Burmese cats, a judge of many breeds, a Show Manager and an ex member of the GCCF Executive Committee. She is currently a member of the GCCF Finance Committee and the Appeals Committee. I am secretary of the BAC responsible for arranging meetings, agendas, minutes etc.

The RBAC monitors the progress of Probationer Judges and Stewards, the Russian Standard of Points, the Registration and Breeding Policy and their submission to the GCCF for approval. It is also responsible for the promotion of Russian Whites (16a14c) and Russian Blacks (16a15)

The BAC have requested that information is posted on this website to keep breeders/owners up to date with the progression of the Russian White and Russian Black cats.

We are also assisting with the Nebelung progression which has recently obtained “Breed Name status” via the RBAC. The Nebelung is a semi long-haired blue cat of Russian type wishing to use Russian Blues in their Registration Policy. It is anticipated that there will be some Nebelungs on exhibition at the Russian Show this year.

Please note that the new BAC Secretary is Mrs. Laurie Curtis kathieemtage@BTinternet.com
