You probably read it on the list. However read their rules carefully. THE BBS is a recognized breed. From: Doc Zoe <wynsum@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: THE AKC FSS PROGRAM Date sent: Sat, 31 May 2014 22:41:51 -0400 From the AKC FSS Page http://www.akc.org/reg/fss_details.cfm The FSS® is not open to "rare" breeds that are a variation of an AKC-registrable breed or the result of a combination of two AKC-recognized breeds. This includes and is not limited to differences such as size (over and under), coat type, coat colors, and coat colors and/or types that are disqualifications from Conformation Events by AKC breed standards. The AKC only considers adding new breeds to the FSS® or its registry upon request. The breed must be recognized by an acceptable foreign or domestic registry. ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2015.
