I just checked and the American Kennel Club registers 193 different breeds of dogs. They have dogs that have been bred to herd sheep, pull sleds, retrieve ducks, and chase raccoons up trees. I do not need a dog to do any of those things. What I need is a dog that can do one very important thing. It is a particular ability that I have heard my friends bragging about at cocktail parties when their dog has it. I am referring to the ability to not need to go potty for long periods of time. I wish they would breed for that. We already have retrievers and pointers how about they develop a "holder." I would not care what it looked like. Maybe it could have a huge camel hump on its back and a bladder the size of a grapefruit. Come on AKC, are you listening?
