WRONG! There are over 700 pure breeds of dogs. The 150 that the american kennel club registers are just the popular breeds in America. There are breeds that are 1000's of years old that the AKC doesn't recognize because there are no significant numbers of that breed in our country.

Most dogs breeds are only a few hundred years old.
