Hi Everybody
This is for news of every description regarding the Havanese breed. Show results "hot" topics, concerns and issues.
Did you all know that the Kennel Club has a list of " accepted " colours that it uses when registering a Havanese litter. 3/4 of the colours that a Havanese pup can be are missing! This list was taken from the most common colours used in the last 10 years. No consultation with anybody apparently, although they do quote when asked that this list was drawn up with the consent and approval of the Havanese Club of Great Britain. A concerned breeder contacted the club and was told that the club knew nothing about it.
A letter listing ALL of the possible colours, combinations and markings has been sent to Caroline Hallett at the KC requesting the colours to be added to the KC "approved" list. So come on all you breeders out there that have the diverse bloodlines to produce the fabulous Havanese colours - get your letters into Caroline to get these colours put back on. Who knows what other genes we may lose if we don't keep the diverse colours going.
Let me know what you think.
Anything you want putting in this forum just let me know - e-mail me - read4hq@btinternet.com
Cheers
