I'm not wrong.
Did you even read the information on the website you linked?
Quote specifically where it says you can get Kennel Club (KC) papers for a dog that is a colour that is not a part of the standard breed.
That information actually addresses the points I've been making throughout this thread! The KC has changed its database not to allow different colours to be considered a part of a standard breed but to stop potential puppy buyers from being duped by cunning sellers who don't care about anything apart from money.
Although the specific unrecognised colours will not be published, it is planned that the Kennel Club will work in conjunction with breed clubs in order to increase knowledge in this area.
A specific ‘What colour should my puppy be?’ web page has also been created with a link to various other areas of the Kennel Club website, to highlight what colours are recognised in each breed and the issues with unrecognised colours.
The Kennel Club is taking this action in relation to unrecognised colours, following concerns expressed by serious breed enthusiasts as well as breed clubs. These measures will send a clear message to anyone thinking of breeding a litter or buying a puppy that it is best to avoid doing so based upon one factor only – in this case, colour. There is a lot of really useful information for puppy seekers on the Kennel Club website and we are confident that these latest changes will improve the chances of people making more informed choices when it comes to buying a puppy in a responsible manner.
The KC have allowed breeders to mention non-standard colours because of serious concerns from breeders, not because they are now recognising any colour to be a standard colour for any breed.
The puppies will be labelled as "colour not recognised".
