I said "over" not only. I haven't kept track, but knew it was at least 145.

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.

The AKC is not part of or associated with the world canine orginizations. The AKC stands alone and answers only to itself and it's customers.

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.

For
YOU a corgi is easier. For a "labrador person" a lab would be eaiser.
I've owned several breeds of dogs over the last 28 years and while the Pembroke is the one that has my heart, there are other breeds that are easier to live with. Corgis take a good amount of managing, especially when you have several and not just one or two.
I still think that corgis are not for everyone. If so then there would be no need for all those other breeds. No one breed is suitable for everyone who wishes to own a dog.
