I've been mulling this over since it was first introduced. Couldn't AKC start a new group, (like Rally started, right?) and have mixed breeds show in their 'own' AKC events. Maybe have a 'top 5' or so compete at the end of the year in a 'run-off'...like a Eukanuba of mixed/purebreds in the performance events? I think that people could find that acceptable. Maybe?
