Paula should not criticize me, if she is going to continue crashing her car  
into innocent people.
 
I guess I didn't make my point, as is normal. What happens when a breed  
becomes and AKC recognized breed is part of the rule of unintended  
consequences.
 
The dog shows are more visible and controlled, and the judges are approved  
by the AKC. The standard is set and enforced.  When a breed is not AKC,  many 
of the shows are judged by judges not necessarily licensed, and often this  
means it is not controlled.
 
Now that the Beaucerons are AKC recognized, it will effect the future of  the 
breed. Some think the AKC can hurt a breed, and others see it as a way to  
improve it.  While the breeders do control the breed, the judges tell the  
breeders what they will and won't accept.  In return, the breeders will  adopt 
to 
the rules.  Often this is not what was intended.
 
A good example is the German shepherd. We judges have accepted a larger  
breed than the standard calls for, and therefore, we breeders are showing and  
breeding a larger dog.
 
Consider, if you will, Patriot.
 
Not that there is anything wrong with that.

The AKC  has nothing to do with the improvement of any breed; that i=
s the job of  each breed's PC.  You knew that, though, didn't  you?
