2. Once the 20% had been reached, the petition was sent to the ARC Board of Directors for a vote.
3. AKC reviewed and their board voted to approve as submitted at their October 2021 meeting confirming that it met the requirements for language allowed in their breed standards.
4. AKC then publishes a copy of the complete (revised) standard is the AKC Gazette for the required 60-day period.
