Or they wouldn't do it.

Which leads to the conclusion you draw: that the major purebred strains are on the verge of collapse. Can this really be true? Has the AKC led us down a merry path of insanity?

I had Jack Russells for years before the AKC got involved. Now the breed is ruined if you ask me. They are a nightmare terrierist.... I got a female years ago that had all the right AKC stuff and she was the worst dog I have ever owned - beautiful but hyper aggressive and high strung. I ended up putting her down after she bit her 5th dog (and that was after the 2 human bites - children no less). And it was a vicious attack, she managed to climb up the door and out the transom to get at the other dog that was at our farm.

Sorry about the dupe above, I can't seem to get it erased. I've tried twice already and I get booted off DU. Either it's my computer operating slowly or DU.
