Oh yes there are other lines. Some breeders came forward and confessed to the AKC that they had been getting them in their lines for years, but they gave them away (at least i hope they gave them away) and never counted them as part of the litter when they registered the litter. There are other lines out there but I would check with someone who knows before I would buy from anyone, because there are also some fakes.
the Nikko line is just the first one to push for them to be registered, and registered the first one, sired by Ch Nikko's Rolls Royce Ashley. All of my partis are descendents of him.
