The American Kennel Club expands the pack – three more breeds added to the registry

Three more dog breeds have officially joined the American Kennel Club's (AKC) esteemed roster, making them eligible for numerous U.S. dog shows and significantly boosting their public profile.

The new additions include a terrier named after a U.S. president, a charming toy dog from Cold War-era Russia, and a centuries-old French hunting hound, each bringing a unique heritage to the forefront of canine recognition.

Among the newcomers is the Basset Fauve de Bretagne, a hardy, sociable hound originating from 16th-century French aristocratic circles.
