The CFA Central Office has released registration statistics for calendar year 2012. Of CFA's 42 recognized breeds, three breeds account for 58% of all registrations: Persian continue as the top breed (30%) followed by Exotic (16%) and Maine Coon Cat (12%).
Given the 2nd and 3rd ranking is at just 16% & 12% it really shows how unlikely it is to have a domestic that would be a breed or even a mix breed. Especially ones like Turkish Van who are way down at #41.
