The Golden Shaded (golden chinchilla) originated from a mutation of the Silver Shaded, which itself comes from crossing the British Blue with the Chinchilla Persian.

Though a rare color, their temperament and stocky build are the same as other British Shorthairs, so there is no need to chase this coat color.
