The American Kennel Club is chock-full of pretenders and fantasists.
Three examples of where that gets you:
- The AKC has just made the Yorkie (a toy breed in the AKC) an earthdog.
. - The AKC has just made the Peruvian Inca Orchid Dog a sighthound!
. - The AKC has just made Boxers a herding breed.
I love the boxer as a herding breed. In fact, I think the AKC should classify all the butcher dog breeds as "herding" dogs: Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dogue De Bordeaux, Dogos, etc. Breeds bred for "very strong jaws and a powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey" are just perfect for herding. What could go wrong?
