I'm a little unsure of what you're trying to say in that wall of text? I can tell you are very fond of Sussex. I think they are an amazing bird as well.
I initially just wanted to create a new 55 autosex dual purpose hybrid/breed with a gentle personality and better at egg laying than the Bielefelder, but when I realized that the bird would be initially 75% Sussex (and more could be added with each generation), I figured why not go for Sussex SOP in everything but color....
It wouldn't be my intention to pass it off as a pure Sussex, although one could argue that a bird that is over 90% of the breed and fits the SOP perfectly in body shape might be considered one of that particular breed. Which is why I was asking about how to get it recognized as a new color type for the breed, and how much percentage of a breed it takes to be considered pure.
