I don't think anyone is blaming the AKC for ruining the breed (at least I am not), it is just the added exposure that the AKC brings to a breed that I believe some of us are commenting on.
It is a contributer to public demand. Hightened public demand makes it much more appealing to a BYB or a puppymill who supplies a pet store to breed dogs that are high on the public demand list. I am not saying that only AKC dogs are high on that list there are many designer dogs that are FAR from AKC recognized. My point is simply that with AKC recognition there will be more exposure and more opportunity for the breed to be exploited by those with less then honorable intentions.
