Authorities acknowledge that
throughout the world there
are several hundred distinct
breeds of purebred dogs, not
all of which are AKC
recognized breeds. Those
officially recognized for AKC
registration appear in the
Stud Book of the American
Kennel Club. The AKC
provides for a regular path of
development for a new breed,
which may result in that
breed’s full recognition and
appearance in the official Stud
Book as an AKC recognized
breed.
Briefly stated, the
requirement for admission to
the Stud Book is clear and
categorical proof that a
substantial, sustained
nationwide interest and
activity in the breed exists.
This includes an active parent
club, with serious and
expanding breeding activity
over a wide geographic area.
When in the judgment of the
Board of Directors such
interest and activity exists, a
breed is admitted to the
Miscellaneous Class. Breeds
in the Miscellaneous Class
may compete and earn titles
in Companion Events and also
select Performance Events.
Miscellaneous breeds are also
eligible to compete in Junior
Showmanship. They may also
compete at conformation
shows, but here are limited to
competition in the
Miscellaneous Class and are
not eligible for championship
points.
When the Board of Directors
is satisfied that a breed is
continuing a healthy, dynamic
growth in the Miscellaneous
Class, it may be admitted to
registration in the Stud Book
and the opportunity to
compete in regular classes.
