You are probably right. Maybe they could allow mutts to be shown at AKC 
performance events but have their own separate class for unregistered dogs???  
That way they could be separate from the purebred dogs???

No, you aren't the only one. The way it was done was a bit on the 
sneaky side....initially the mixed breed dogs would compete against 
other mixed breeds and only at stand-alone obedience or agility 
trials.  Now it's up to the club and mixed breeds CAN show in 
performance events at all-breed shows that also have conformation. 
The only good thing is that for trials that have limited entries, the 
club has the right to not take mixed-breed entries, at least for now. 

The thing that DOES bother me is if you have a purebred dog and you're 
applying for an ILP/PAL number, you must show proof of neutering 
before AKC will give you a number....but if you're applying for a 
number for your mixed breed, you do NOT have to show proof of 
spay/neuter, and you can apply for a number for your intact mixed 
breed puppy if you "promise" the dog will be neutered in the future. 
From the application: "I (we) certify that this dog has been 
spayed/neutered or that it, being a puppy, will be spayed/neutered at 
such time as recommended by my veterinarian and that I (we) will 
submit written verification if requested by the American Kennel Club." 
 No actual proof required. and if looks like you can keep your mixed 
breed dog intact by saying your veterinarian does NOT recommend the 
dog be neutered?   Yet your purebred rescue GSD has to be neutered 
before AKC will give you an ILP/PAL number.  That's just not right.
