When people refer to a breed they are generally referring to the fur, which would be American shorthair -red tabby. Breed is not related to the other traits so the "original traits," ie the other 8 traits, on the red tabby could have been anything. And yes, your best bet is to find a red tabby and breed it with something more recessive to keep the red tabby in the offspring. If it's retired you won't be able to get the fur from starters so you'd have to find it on the secondary market.
