I understand what you mean. And yes, I'm sure it will take time, but with numbers and persistant, passionate people, I'm sure it's an obtainable goal.

So I am still wondering as it has not been addressed or answered:
* Are parti breeders trying to get the dogs recognized as a separate breed, or just a different color variation?
* If it is going to be recognized either way, won't there have to be a group of people, with common united goals, an agreed upon standards, like beliefs and practices working
together? I mean, how will it ever happen if you just have individuals working out there on their own and not on the same page?
*
Specifically, how are these things being achieved? How have the efforts been organized to be presented to AKC for acceptance?
* Is there a uniform way of tracking lineage, health research, genetic research and records for the partis being bred?
I would *think* these to all neccessary issues that would need to be addressed in order for this goal to be obtained... I actually find this very interesting and can only imagine the hard work and time and research that would have to be put into it. That is why I think that it will be interesting to learn how it's being done because if it's ultimately accepted then that will be HUGE

Not sure how to take that really...hopefully it was a joke? Or hopefully that at least means there IS a plan?
