Not too upset about them separating the mixed breeds from the pure breeds.Yes, it seems like they could make a better decision. I would love to see them be and advocate for all dogs. WIth animal abuse on the rise, shelters to overflowing with unwanted or misjudged pets, we need an organization that will spur people on to think of their dogs best interests at heart no matter the breed. Many mixed breeds that are high energy are turned into the pound because people do not know what to do with their energy levels. This could be a huge help to mixed breeds, it could possibly even save some pups life. Let’s go for it and then work within the organization on behalf of the mixed breeds.

I show two mixed breeds in mixed breed shows, and have earned several obedience titles. The shows are affordable, within an hour’s drive of my house, and are pretty low-key. I can show an entire mixed breed season for what it would cost me to show in 1 AKC show. I have stewarded at AKC shows and my dogs would do great in them, but I sure can’t afford it. I’ll keep showing in mixed breed shows. Oh, as for how AKC calls the mixed breeds, “All American Dogs”??? That’s ridiculous! We are proud of our mixed breeds and don’t need some kind of fancy name.

They are- I love them both so much! You can read about Quick’s (rough/border collie) puppy agility here on the blog. We just started his first class!
