Admission to the standard requires any variety breed true at least 50 percent of the time. Blue meets that requirement. Golden duckwing males would be another example where they only breed true 50 percent of the time. Splash is not seen as a variety because it is extremely variable in expression, from nearly white to maybe half dark in some cases. If you don\'t agree with the APA or ABA on this or any issue you have a district director to talk to, and he or she can take your concerns to the board meetings. Better yet you can run for office and, if elected, have a vote. Splash is not recognized as a variety by the APA in any breed, but if enough APA members pressed the issue perhaps the policy could change.
