"All these new breeds? WHY? MONEY."

Well, they're not really 'new' breeds - they've been around for many, many years. It takes a long time and a lot of glad-handing and campaigning and $ to become an AKC recognized breed.

These three are only 'new' breeds in terms of the AKC.

We're members of the United Kennel Club. We breed Treeing Walker Coonhounds and Plott Hounds for hunting both raccoon and black bear...for little to NO profit. ;)
