Should panda German Shepherds be recognized by AKC

I was just having a conversation with a friend with how large, blocky, and dumpy the lab is becoming. My parents have had several over the years and they were all athletic, drivey dogs. The ones I'm seeing recently all look like cartoons of labs.
We see a lot of Labs in SAR, and the great ones are always smaller with a ton of drive. Those are the ones that, as an vowed GSD handler, I see them work and say I could see myself with that dog. But that's rare.

I've always considered labs to be a medium sized dog breed. I was looking at crates the other day and saw manufacturers had recommended labs use XL or even XXL crates. Needless to say, it shocked me.
