Which statements are you referring to? I said pretty much what you did that the AKC does not have a problem with merles. The CCA also has some real (for lack of a better word) Assholes that feel their word is the final God of dogs.

Neither of these statements is entirely correct. First the AKC DOES recognise merles.....as of now, the AKC recognises ANY color or pattern in the chi. The AKC itself does not have a particular problem with merles. BUT, the chihuahua parent club, CCA (?) DOES have a problem with merles. It is the parent club of any breed that sets the standards for the breed. The chi parent club has tried a couple of times to ban the merle, but it has failed each time. SO, as of right now, the merle is recognised, the parent club does not like it, but majority rules and the ban has not passed.
