Future of Rare breeds & AKC?

Currently there are more than 55 FCI recognized breeds sitting in Limbo with the AKC-FSS.
What do you forsee as the future for these breeds?
What are the main reasons these breeds have not progressed to full recognition?

Is it:

1. AKC's 300 number rule?
2. Hosting AKC rules specialty events in regions
3. Wrong type of people running breed club? (pet/rescue centered rather than breeder)
4. Lack of knowledge about what AKC is and how it's different from FCI
5. Lack of interest in AKC events
6. Something else????

What can be done to correct these issues if anything?

Are the people involved in Rare breeds concerned about the future of their breeds in the US with all the Anti-Breeder laws popping up when AKC imposes a 300 min. barrier which is blocking advancement??

Please weigh in on these issues.

Falling Entry numbers

My AKC All breed club is concerned about falling entry numbers. The entries in their recent show was down by about 400 entries. Apparently, Onofrio confirms that entries are down all over the US, they suspect due to rising fuel costs. My club is worried about entries being down next year and thereafter until the economy finally shows signs of recovery.

In light of falling entry numbers and the fact that some 182 FCI recognized breeds are not allowed entry into AKC events, is it nearing time for FSS breed owners/clubs to come together and petition the AKC for recognition?

AKC is LOSING money with falling entry numbers, falling registration numbers etc. Is it possible that AKC would be more inclinded to listen to FSS people and allow us entry into Misc. even though we have not achieved 300+ ? Is it possible AKC would allow FSS breeds to stay in Misc. until such time as the numbers come up and the parent clubs meet AKC's obligations???

What do you think??
