I think the outlandish act of breeding dogs from Spain and Russia to your Markovo dogs will certainly exclude the Project dogs from the "Pure" world of the AKC.

AKC is not the way to go to save breeds - however we are blessed to have other options.

I think today's SSSD Project is a living example of how things can work - we should aim to multiply it for the dogs who need to continue working with their human friends.

Bonify what works is sometime the most innovative way of doing things,
