Yes, Golds and Blonds are sooo pretty! My Daisy Mae is one I have her pictured on my web site
Home Page I cannot seem to figure out how to get pictures on the threads!
Golds are acceptable to be registered with the AKC on a case by case way, one must send in pictures to back up your claim. Sometimes they will call them other things like TAN instead of Gold. Partis are registered in the same manner. So each dog is judged by the AKC before they issue a registration paper.
Now, I know from taking to older breeders and breeders that have talked to older breeders, most older time breeders did not go through the trouble of trying to register their 'other' color puppies. Some were killed, given away or registered under a 'traditional' color. If registered under a 'traditional' color, sometimes they included a descriptive word to show the actual color. Like adding 'Gold' in the name if the dog was a Gold.
