AKC Welcomes Three New Breeds
The American Kennel Club is pleased to announce that three
new breeds became eligible for AKC registration on January
1, 2011, bringing the totally number of registered breeds
to 170.
The
Entlebucher
Mountain Dog was bred to move cows from
pasture to pasture in the Swiss Alps. Medium-sized
and
strongly muscled, the Entle is a hard worker and can
excel at canine sports.
The Norwegian
Lundehund is the only AKC-registered breed
whose original purpose
was puffin hunting. Today
the breed
makes a loyal and playful family companion.
One
of the world's oldest and rarest breeds, the Xoloitzcuintli are still considered "healers" in remote
Mexican and Central American villages today. The
breed's name
is pronounced show-low-etz-queent-lee.
The
AKC also welcomes the following breeds into the Miscellaneous
Class: Bergamasco, Boerboel,
