"Pure black, black and tan, and white are not permitted. " - is this true of the AKC? From the standard it seems any colour other than white is OK in the US [1]. All other standards are clear on this -- sannse (talk) 12:05, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You are correct about the US/AKC standard. It is the FCI standard (Word doc) that excludes those colors. With a change in the Candadian standard due in 2006 to reference the FCI (previously it referenced the US standard), the US will be the only country using the AKC standard. A comparison of the UK (FCI) and US (AKC) standards.

There is a section that uses the term "irresponsible breeding". Is this a real term, or is this a value judgement? If it's a value judgement, it seems inappropriate. --JensWilkinson 06:05, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
