Alright Dan I'm gonna give this a shot and hope I can make it understandable and not sound ignorant.
I think it's a good thing that the color standard is the way it's written. This allows for the particular color phases that occur WITHIN the Leopard breed.However, there must be some limitations and I think we could all agree to that.
For example, if I were to try to pass off a dog to you which was spotted like a dalmation you would be at least a little suspect of my breeding practices. The same would hold true if the dog was tri-colored or a variety of other colors.
I know this is a poll, but bear with me please. I'll eventually get to my point.
I guess I'm a purist when it comes to dog breeds and keeping them true to their origins. The way I see the color issue is not so much that the founders of any breed had a predudice against any certain colors but that they knew that with the combinations of colors coming from the foundation dogs and having bred them probably countless times that there was little to no possibility of certain other colors occurring.
Sooooo...I guess it seems to me to be the "intent of the law" and not so much the "letter of the law" if you know what I mean.
Having said all that, I admit to not knowing all the ins and outs of how single registration has been handled. Y'all don't crucify me here but I have heard that Jug wasn't pure Leopard. Maybe rumor but I have heard that.
So I guess to sum this all up... I wouldn't mind any color including black as long as I knew it was coming from Leopard influences
I hope at least some of this makes a little sense.
Mike
