As above, except at the moment we call a Snowshoe crossed with a permitted outcross breed a first generation (so Snowshoe x Siam is 1st generation) and a cross of two permitted outcross breeds is a foundation (so Siamese x BSH is zero generation).
The Snowshoe can be shown from 4th generation and above (at the moment) so you have to wait until a 1st generation's great, great grandkittens before they can be shown. The registration paperwork will clearly show whether the kitten can be shown as they will be reference register and it is marked on it. The Pedigree papers with registration numbers shows the generation status as if a cat is another breed code than 83 then they're offspring will be first generation.
If you are not bothered about showing the early generation cats are lovely pets. Clearly the type gets truer as you go up the generations but temperament is part of our breed standard and the outcross kitten I have had have been fantastic.
Hope you feel better soon
