To catch back up on individual threads...
Aussie Dark Chocolate is currently within the range of recessive to Aby Black Silver and Dominant to Tonk Tortie, according to the Saga charts.
I currently have an Aussie Dark Chocolate paired with a Pandie Plat at the Saga project.
I also have both male and female breeding age cats who are proven to hide Aussie Dark Chocolate, sitting in wait of potential mates. These would be ideal to start pairing against furs, to work towards narrowing the range and getting the Aus Mist Dark Chocolate placement finalized.
If anyone has a breeding age cat whose fur falls within the range, who would like to pair it with one of my test cats, please contact me in world. TY!
Also sharing this proof against Brit fur... since neither are absolutely pinned down yet (though we know the BritSH C&W is Dom to Bali Lilac):
