Carrot varieties


These are all carrots, but so are all of these:



Golden Retrievers need they all be carrot colored? Can some be white or yellow, or black?

Why not call them all varieties of Flatcoats (please rename them Silkcoats or something prettier sounding than "Flatcoats"). Then show them as color varieties of the same breed. That way you preserve the rich Goldens, the yellow Goldens, the flat Blacks, and the Creams.

Or would that be too simple?

As for the show/field split, as Retrieverman said: The horse has left the barn. (and) like Humpty Dumpty the pieces aren't going back together again.

The field breds need to split from the show breds, then clumped with other field breds as "Bird Dogs" - variety "Retriever" - color "Deep Gold".

That sound about right?
