Ricki,
That's exactly how I feel abd that's why Mr Biewer developed this breed and the standard.
I do hope they get recognized by the AKC someday. Now sure how they are gonna do it. It will probably be after my lifetime. Well, I'm gonna breed them and keep to the standard until all of that gets figured out.
Hugs,
Irene
