Meet the two newest breeds officially recognized by the American Kennel Club: The Mudi and the Russian Toy! 🐕 The Mudi, originally from Hungary and used on farms, and the Russian Toy, a tiny and cheerful dog with Russian aristocracy, have now joined the list of recognized breeds. The Mudi, a rare breed with only 450 in the U.S., will become a member of the herding group, which includes breeds like the German shepherd or collie. The Russian Toy will become a member of the Toy Group, which includes 775 dog breeds. The American Kennel Club, the world's largest purebred dog registry, recognizes new dog breeds every year, with dogs needing to be in an established breed club. 📸: American Kennel Club via @apnews and Skest / Wikimedia Commons. #dogs #americankennelclub
