Something to bark about! Six New breeds to learn!

How Well do You Know Your Dog Breeds???


Six NEW breeds made their debuts at last week's Westminster Kennel Club...this meant that these types of dogs are found in at least 20 US states.  Have you seen one of these anywhere?


Norwegian Lundehund

Double-jointed, cliff dwelling breed. Fanciers of the breed call themselves Lundetics!




Entlebucher Mountain Dog

A loyal, beautiful breed that looks similar to a small Bernese Mountain Dog.




Xoloitzcuintli

Pronounced "show-low-eats-queen-t-lee."  This Mexican hairless is one of the 173 breeds that competed at the Westminster Kennel Club Show!




American English Coonhound

This dog breed has origins from hunting hounds brought to America by settlers during the 17th and 18th centuries, resulting in the dogs known as the "Virginia Hounds."








Finnish Lapphund

These dogs are actually are known as former "reindeer herders."  Believe it or not!
 






Cesky Terrier

The Cesky Terrier was created by a Czech breeder, František Horák, in 1948, as a cross between a Sealyham Terrier and a Scottish Terrier, to create a terrier suitable for hunting in the forests of Bohemia.
