Where does the Xolo fit into this? They will be recognized next year. What group will they be in? Companion?!?!

I just hate the fact that AKC is dividing groups by looks instead of what they were bred to do. I agree, the only plus to this is the Dal being placed in the working group. They were pretty much working dog.

Another thing I want to know. What about rankings? Will the dog that is # 1 in it's group STILL be #1 if it is moved to another group??? Getting to that ranking is hard enough and takes a great amount of time, patients, and money. What if the new group has dogs with many more points? Will this dog have to go out and special more to try and get that spot back?
