If I'm wrong please those with more knowledge let me know.

Donna,


I believe that the new AKC recognized breeds began by a large body of people banding together....breeding and documenting historical data.....in addition a dog to become AKC accepted it must have a functional purpose. In other words...working breeds, herding, etc....even though there is a toy class is now recognized as a companion dogs originally each of the breeds within it served a function
