Opinion on AKC/FSS registry

[Cora]

ok, I just tried for the first time to reply and it seems it did not work; in the worst case my comments will show up twice...

I am currently living in the US but I am European; I discovered your website just a few days ago and since then asked some dog people here if they know the breed - so far nobody had heard about it but most have heard about some wolfmixes (I have met one here)

in regard of AKC; it sounds to me that AKC is mainly focusing on "show" and appearance and several original working breeds did not immediately join AKC; the border collie jooined pretty recently and breeders of working lines are not necessarily happy about it, the breeder association of working Kelpies for example decided as far as I know not to join AKC because this priority on "showing"; so I am not sure if it would do a breed like the CsW any good to get under the regulations of the AKC...
