I realise there is a lot of discussion about the subject but until its official, then that is all it is ?
Meant to add the breeder is also an AOS judge. I don't believe he is going to mislead as what would be the point....

Unfortunately, many American breeders are not up to date with the status of 'Pendentive,' including some very well known breeders on the west coast and many judges. The Brazilians all recognize 'Pendentive' as a hybrid.
'Kenny' still has its FCC, however its name has been changed by the AOS from walkeriana to 'Snow Blind,' which is a hybrid. So this one is official. Considering 'Kenny' is progeny from 'Pendentive,' its a bit strange that the AOS hasn't renamed it as well.
I think you mentioned this post previously, but if my memory is incorrect, here is a post all 'Pendentive' doubters should read:
C. walkeriana (not) ‘Kenny’
If you scroll down, catwalker808 is actually Harry Akagi (the H of H&R Nurseries), who is widely regarded as the best breeder of walkeriana and nobilior in the United States. In fact, I can't think of anyone else in this country who is regarded by walkeriana fanatics in both Brazil and Japan as a world class breeder. His word is as "official" as it gets!
