Fuzzy317, most of those dogs you listed that you said aren't on AKC, ARE on AKC. And the Plott Hound and a lot of those aren't on AKC. I had to look in my book for some of these and most of those dogs you said that are on there AREN'T on there. I have another book that has those dogs in there its called "The Legacy of the Dog" and they have rare breeds, but it doesn't mean they are in AKC. And things like the Wire Fox Terrier, it IS on the AKC list. I am sorry but you are wrong. But thanks for trying to help. And the American Cocker Spaniel is DEFINATELY on AKC, its called Cocker Spaniel but it is the American Cocker Spaniel.
