[blackbelly] New name debate

[johnccarlton]

Just a couple of things to think about. IF someone decides to make-up a new breed of "American Blackbelly" (or whatever), will a separate registry be established? Is there any recognized protocol for establishing a new "breed"?   Also, it appears that this one decision could remove the majority of animals from the existing registry. Is that the intended result and in the best interest of the breed(s)?   John
