ah, so breed has changed spontaneously and has nothing to do with breeders trying ON PURPOSE to isolate and breed certain genetic/physical characters (such as size, color, etc.) ?
i agree it is possible that AKC could come with a new classification but i don't think they will include dogs that are prone to genetic defects or health problems. Now that would be insane
