No breed of dog should exist because people shouldn't intentionally breed dogs. It's inhumane and most of them wind up in kill shelters. If you want a dog, adopt a mutt from a pound. It'll be healthier and happier than any other dog you could get. That said, breed characteristics are something pushed by dog breeders themselves.
