AKC will listen to the parent club when it comes to not allowing them in the ring..but it will register them..not to do so hurts their bottomline...and we must remember the AKC is a profit making organization.

Thanks for the explanation Pat

When you say that the YTCA doesn't want any non-standard colors reproducing, then does the AKC make non-standard colors reg'd as limited registration? If I remember correctly someone here is trying to get their off color litter reg'd and I asked if it were to be limited reg and they said they didn't think so. Wouldn't that make sense, for the AKC to require all off color yorkies reg'd as limited? To prevent them from breeding? Or am I totally off?
