LAST UPDATED 05/05/2008
CLUB MEMBERS ONLY GET TO SUGGEST AND VOTE ON OUR BREED NAME BEFORE ADVANCING TO AKC
SUGGESTIONS TAKEN UNTIL APRIL 1, 2008
Note the words Miniature and Australian can not be use in the name per AKC5-5-08
The club filed our paperwork with AKC a month ago and we are awaiting word back after their reviews. Given the fact that Maribeth at AKC told us names are sometimes even changed at the FSS stage (AKC dept where breeds await full recognition) we decided to vote on the name just ONCE in light of the fact we are working off donations financially and doing multiple mailings for the name (should AKC not accept the one we choose first) could get costly/timely. Since all of us are busy or we are not doing our job as breeders we here at the Club only have time to vote once so IF AKC approves our breed they will likewise let us know which of our many names they would NOT approve so then we can vote on the group they could live with. That way we would not take a chance on voting on a name only to have AKC shoot it down. We have quite a few possibilities and AKC could let us know which IF ANY they would not approve and that name will be left out of the voting process. Originally we had planned on having the name decided on by now BUT we switched gears and went to AKC first as they do not care (per Maribeth) about the name at this point. I saw no reason to ask those paying for this to pay TWICE for mailings so we will do this ONCE after AKC reviews all the name possibilities.
