Awww...I don't think that anyone is trying to 'bash' breeders of non-standard colors--just those who do it to make a quick buck off something different, which happens all too often these days.

The problem is, you have many people doing just that and then try to avoid criticism by saying "I'm working to promote it as a recognized standard" but then they can't tell you WHAT exactly they are doing to work towards it. Their answer is something like "I'm making sure my dogs are healthy."

OK, great--that means NOTHING in the long run of getting anything recognized. It won't happen by focusing your attention on your first gen of off-color dogs and never expanding your drive beyond your own dogs and household. You can't do it working on your own, as you ladies realize. But you ladies and your efforts you say you are making are a small minority.
I think it is the other side that is getting the "bashing" so to speak.
