What implication does the AKC's rejection of the parti color have on a breeder's program that prioritizes show success?

Breeders focusing solely on championship titles often avoid intentionally producing them to maintain conformation potential.

The AKC's designation of the parti pattern as a disqualification means that any puppy born with this coloration is immediately ineligible to accrue the necessary championship points required for show titles. For a breeder whose primary focus and marketing hinge on achieving top conformation status, intentionally producing a puppy guaranteed not to meet that standard represents a deviation from their core business model. This typically leads them to actively avoid producing parti puppies, or if they do appear, to sell them exclusively as pets at a reduced fee, ensuring their focus remains on puppies conforming to the recognized standard.
