To me it's like saying if the maltipoo, or the morkie were to be fully developed (meaning generation after generation to get the right kind of genetics and temperament which would be the goal of a knowledgable breeder, at least that's what I'm assuming in this hypothetical situation) before the change in the AKC rules, then the maltipoo or morkie could have been recognized as it's own breed?

Remember, we're just imagining here....
