AKC Grants Full Recognition to Three More Breeds



Here's something you don't see extremely often...the American Kennel Club has increased the number of recognized purebred dog breeds to 161 with the addition of the Irish Red and White Setter, the Pyrenean Shepherd, and the Norweigian Buhund.

The AKC's press release does a nice job of detailing each breed and there are some attractive pictures of each breed as well.

Personally, I am interested in hearing more about the Pyrenean Shepherd... :-)
