I think that the reluctance to consider them a breed is probably because serious cat people don't want to encourage people who don't know better to breed their DSHes.

Well that's sensible...true not to glorify them and encourage what would be absolutely UNNECESSARY (understatement of the year!) breeding. What is so cool though is that they are an important part of cat shows

They are certainly special! Am looking forward to showing off my Gigi kitty!
