One of my jobs in my younger days was as a guard-dog trainer.

Most of the time we didn't work with pure-breeds due to potential problems caused by inbreeding; mutts from the pound almost always worked out best, especially for the ones we trained first before selling.

If the client was willing to cough up cash, the boss didn't turn it down unless it was a Dalmatian. She was convinced that Dalmatian are all deaf and psycho, a time-bomb and a lawsuit just waiting to happen.

I'm personally against the AKC and "dog breeds" in general for much the same as being against "racial purity", it diminishes the future generation by denying needed genetic diversitiy.
