. If you guys would just declare yourselves a distinct breed, separate from the regular labs, put forth some breeding guideliens which restrict breedings to PL only, NAVHDA would probably let you test.
and then the PL might be recognized.
That can only berecommended by the "Breed Club" to the AKC. There are a few thousand PLs in the world and Gazillions of non PLs. There is no way they will ever be called a different breed. In fact, they AREN'T a different breed. They are 100% Labrador Retrievers -- they just happen to point instead of flush.
