The AKC has added 3 new breeds. One isn't very interesting--the red and white irish setter--sort of like a pinto irish setter.
The other 2 are sort of bizarre. Here's the Norwegian buhund. Pretty muttly looking, no? Here's part of the description from the AKC:
"The Buhund has a lot of energy, strength and stamina. This self-appointed watch dog is also content lying at your feet at the end of the day. Broken teeth and honorable scars incurred in the line of herding duty are acceptable."
This means that it's ok if you show a dog with broken teeth and scars. Which is NOT ok if your dog is a pit bull or Rotweiller. But you can only show the broken-toothed dog if he broke them while he was herding, not while catching stones. Anyway, for some reason this dog reminds me of my sister's dog.
I was gonna SAY! Except Kuruma's head is bigger in proportion to her beautiful body, and her coloring, well, her coloring is lovely.

ReplyDeleteYou should see her "point" when she's confused. Talk about throwback genes.
