Now but if you're showing to determine if a particular meets the standard so you know if it should be bred that is for the right reason.
Many other breeds have different color categories. But they no doubt had someone pushing to get the other colors included. Change will not happen without someone pushing for it.
Parti breeders have the right to push, and have the right to do whatever is necessary to improve their dogs.
Personally I couldn't care less about championships, but I'm glad there are those that do, who are willing to put up with the prejudices and politics and take their dogs into the ring. As long they are doing it to better the dog, isn't that what it's all about. improving the dog?
