Currently reading the Teddy Roosevelt book written by Bret Baier. Saw the mention of the Roosevelt breed in another article and went to the AKC.org website to check it out. The book on Teddy is a very interesting read. Who knows, perhaps one of these new breeds will find their way into your home.
We have a Jack Russell Terrier, and our dog is so smart, it is eery. There are times I think she is every bit as smart as a three year old child. She runs our whole house. And she is serious about it too. She makes us laugh heartily every day with her attitude.
FYI...just a suggestion, but I think we should have a separate Category for Animals/Pets rather than burying it in General.
Article:
The Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka, a dark, curly-coated toy breed from Russia; the Basset Fauve de Bretagne, a hound with royal heritage; and the Teddy Roosevelt Terrier, named in honor of a U.S. president, are set to earn full American Kennel Club recognition on January 1, 2026.
On that date, the inductees can begin competing in AKC Conformation and other events. The three breeds bring the total number of AKC-recognized breeds to 205.
Each of these breeds offers a unique set of characteristics that make them stand out as first-rate companions. Personable and cheerful in disposition, the new-to-AKC breeds are trustworthy companions who thrive on serving their owners, but they’re not newly developed.
