What would I have to do to make my goal a sucess? -do I have to get permission from the goverment to make a new breed? I really need all the help I can get… Thanks so much for helping me, Raspberries.

You don’t need anybody’s official OK to start a new “breed.” But it may take years before enough owners of your breed form clubs and petition the AKC for recognition. That would only stand a chance if the new breed you created would consistently have the same physical and behavioral charateristics so that it could be recognized as a breed. In other words, even if your new breed is eventually recognized, you’ll probably be long dead.
