Is the Pixiebob a "Hybrid"

It is the position of the originator of the breed, Carol Ann Brewer, that Pixie-Bobs, without their name or standard, appeared on the American Continent over 500 years ago. The "Legend" is that the Pixie-Bob is a naturally occurring cat, descended from the crossing of bobcats and domestics, with mating’s occurring all over the USA and in Canada. 

Pixie-Bobs are believed to be a descendent of the bobcat, but it is not a hybrid. The Pixie-Bob was officially declared a breed by the International Cat Association in 1994. 

This breed is bred Pixie-Bob to Pixie-Bob and Bobcat hybrids are not allowed in the pedigrees of TICA-registered cats. Genetic testing conducted by TICA's geneticists has not discovered any 'wild markers' and most reputable breeders will only say that it is a domestic cat bred to 'look' like the Coastal Red Bobcat. It does have outcrosses to the foundation Pixie-Bobs known as Legend CatsTM which continue to appear in a rare rural litter, but - unlike some modern 'designer breeds' - outcrosses to other breeds are not permitted.
