": I am so against akc and thankyou to those involved in this petition, I have been in the pet market for 20 years and have personally seen the results on the breeds when they have been accepted by akc, the show people determine how the should look, move,o"

": THE AKC WOULD TURN OUR BREED INTO "COOKIE CUTTER" DOGS, AS THEY HAVE DONE TO ALL THEIR OTHER BREEDS. THE DIVERSITY OF OUR BREED IS WHAT KEEPS US STRONG! IF WE MUST CONFORM TO A STRICT CONFORMATION / BREED STANDARD, WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE INHERENT DEFECTS "
