The American Kennel Club welcomes three new breeds, including the Entlebucher Mountain Dog from the Swiss Alps.The American Kennel Club announced 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.
