The AKC Introduced Two New Dog Breeds

The world’s largest purebred dog registry gives “thumbs up,” or maybe, “paws up,” to two brand new dog breeds! The “dogo argentino,” which resembles a pit bull in facial features, and the “Barbet”, a shaggy-haired french water dog, are now recognized by the american kennel club as purebreds. The dogs are eligible to compete in their respective groups as of this year. The “Dogo Argentino” is from Argentina, and is used to hunt big game such as boar and mountain lion, and is protective and territorial. The thick coated “Barbet” was originally used to hunt waterfowl, and is even-tempered and loves to be with its owners.
