Well if FCI adheres to parent country clubs, and mutaras are not allowed according to CZ and SK, than FCI should reject the ENCI pedigrees, right?
I know there is a huge issue occurring in American Dalmatians - they started a "back-cross" project 35 years ago, bringing in an English Pointer to correct the genes that make 100% of "purebred" Dals have high uric acid. Now, so many generations later, the backcross offspring are 99.99% Dalmatian, but the Dal "ourists" would rather have the high uric acid defect, rather than allowing the backcross Dals full registration as they are "mutts" according to purists.
In the Dal situation, they at least used an English Pointer that was well-bred, papered and closest to the Dal phenotype so as not to bring in any "unknowns"... where as the Mutara dogs brought in a GSD mix with no known parentage as well as a Canadian wolf which is not even close to the carpathian wolf subspecies...
So here in the U.S. I would propose that we make sure AKC does not register mutaras, per our parent club's rules, adhering to what the parent countries suggest.
My fear are those loopholes that potentially can muddy the waters...
