What are some real dog breeds not recognized by AKC? Dog Breed Discussions
What I mean by real is dogs that have an old enough gene pool that parents can breed specifically with their own type as opposed to continuously having to be remixed again. And I don't want to hear about this labradoodle nonsense and stuff like that. Pretty much anything that might be considered a "designer dog". Instead, I'm looking to hear more about breeds like the english shepherd (sort of like a border collie but purely functional).For those of you who are fans of the "designer dogs", I'm not insulting them, I'm just saying I don't really classify them as actual breeds yet. Maybe in a few years when they can stand independently. Besides, from my understanding a lot of them are actually pretty unhealthy.Anyway, the reason I'm asking is because these days I've noticed a lot of problems with AKC dog breeds because of them being bred specifically for form and not function -- like German bred German shepherd dogs vs American bred German shepherd dogs (though both have abnormally low sweeping hips if you ask me). So I'd like to know of a few more functional relatively healthy dog breeds.Please don't insult my point of view, I don't mind people challenging it, just do so in a polite fashion please.
