Read AKC or Canadian Kennel Club on their site about what it takes to have a new breed recognized. It is not throwing some dogs together, coming up with a catch name and marketing a new product.

AKC's foundation program specifically excludes any "breed"...which is the result of a pairing of two breeds already recognized.
