Now the Labradoodle is a KC registered breed.
There are many breeds that have different colour variations, how has the Biewer come about? I actually don't know much about this breed, are they a colour variation of the yorkie? Many breeds of dog can have mixed colour litters and all the pups can be registered, maybe this is because at some point in the breed's history there were breeders fighting for the standard to be changed! Here in the UK our standards have changed to ban tail docking (a great move in my mind!).
I'm no expert but aren't there some breeds with colour variations that are recognized by the AKC but not by our KC? And maybe vice versa! Personally I love all yorkies regardless of colour and I think that if reputable breeders were to set up breeding programs to improve the different colours maybe there could be a change in the standard! Just a thought! |
Labradoodles aren't a seperate Kennel Club registered breed.
They can only be registered with the Kennel Club on their " Activity & Companion Dog Register" as a cross breed & can't be shown other than at Scruffts or other Exemption shows.
