They aren't AKC recognized yet, but are working hard on it, and judging by the numbers and quality I had Saturday, doing a pretty nice job of it. Very best, Lanalee Jorgensen I have also judged them at the rare breed--I agree with Lana there were some really nice quality mini's -, I put one Best in Show.
