Peggy -Are you sure that the AKC only recognise 145 breeds of dogs? Like New Zealand, the AKC is part of and/or associated with, the two world canine organisations and the older of these two recognise 335 breeds ( the last time I looked it up) and so NZ and the USA would follow suit surely as part of the international umbrella. NZ has 195 recognised breeds currently represented in NZ. I would imagine that the USA would have many more recognised pure breeds living in that country.

I would still argue very strongly that a typical, normal Corgi is far easier to raise, train, care for, manage etc than is a typical, normal Labrador.
