So phenotype can be based purely on whether a kennel is FCI registered or not - not necessarily on whether a dog is known to be of pure lineage (which Amber obviously is)? We have a similar type of phenotype registration here, but it is for dogs with unknown parents (which terrifies me for our breed...). AKC doesn't require any kind of kennel registration (I wish they did), so this hadn't even occured to me for FCI. Thanks!
