I did see a post in another thread - the legbar thread, I think, where the person who hatched the cream legbars said that there are 'crested and non-crested' CLBs.
If we establish a breeders directory-- which is a good idea...would that person, in order to be in the directory have birds required to meet certain 'standards' (of perfection). To what degree would the club want to let the public know that if they have cream legbars without crests, they need to work on getting crests.
I know MnM had stated that the club shouldn't say 'that's not a cream legbar' to anyone, at this point. If I understood correctly. Mutts1 gave insight to the value of genetic diversity, and Stoneunhenged suggested an openness for recognizing (not wanting to start any controversy here---but we do need to have a standard if we are going to get a breed recognized by the APA) openness for 3-years, then closing any registry in effect -again based on my memory. Some of these are 'which came first the chicken or the egg' type questions. Good metaphor for us, right?
IMO having crested and non-crested clbs is exactly the type of 'problem' that the club would want to avoid for the best future for this breed.
Questions that pop to mind about a breed registry are - what would be the criteria for getting listed in the registry...etc.
Be keeping, in the back of your heads items that will be business for the club such as the above. The agenda will be full for the first year..and it will have to be carved into do-able pieces.
