You don't seem to be aware that many of the differences between dog breeds aren't based on looks but on working ability.

Most people have no need for a "working" dog anymore. I know that there are many exceptions, but people in living in apartments and in the suburbs have no use for a specific type of working dog bred to do a particular thing. In the 21st century people buy dogs based on what they look like, not based on what they were bred to do.
Do people want their little pugs or their staffordshires or other bully breeds for jobs to be accomplished? Of course not, its mere fashion.
My neighbor in my apartment building has a newfoundland....and he sure dosent work on any docks.
The golden retriever is one of the most popular dogs....is everybody duck hunting now or what?
In NYC, everyone lives in apartments, they have jobs that have no need for the use of any kind of dog. That does not stop them from buying their retrievers, and staffordshires, standard poodles, french bulldogs....
