It doesnt look as if there will be any problem for Self Blue AM's being accepted by the APA and the APA doesn't care what anyone calls them .....other than how the are described in the APA Standard. They will be called Self Blue in the Standard.....call them anything you like online or anywhere else. Self Blue and Lavender are one in the same.

Walt, I'm curious... I believe that it takes 5 breeders who have been working with the breed for 5 years and also been members of the APA for 5 years to get a breed accepted, correct? Does that mean it takes 5 years from the petition time as well, or is there an average time it takes any breed to be accepted from the time of petition? Or is there a set time of the year that those decisions are made, like at a yearly meeting?
I won't even ask why there's a lot of 5's in there, lol...
