Unrecognized and Rare Breed dogsUnrecognized and Rare Breeds refers to all breeds which are not yet recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC), and which do not belong to a general kennel club designation such as the Herding Group, Hound Group, etc.. There are several reasons why a breed is not recognized by kennel clubs such as the AKC. Worldwide, there are hundreds of dog breeds, some of ancient origin and some relatively recent. Many foreign breeds and rare breeds are relatively unknown in the USA, and therefore are not recognized. Many rare breeds are found only in very small populations in isolated regions. They are also referred to as “emerging breeds” by some international associations. The preservation of a rare breed depends on the integrity of their pedigree and ownership records. Many dog fanciers see AKC recognition as necessary for breed development. Before a breed is recognized, the AKC registers 200 dogs of that breed in what is known as the Foundation Stock Service Program. After the breed is recognized, only dogs which have descended from the foundation stock, can be registered with the AKC. The American Rare Breed Association (ARBA) allows the registration of rare breeds which are not AKC-recognized. Top 10 recommended Unrecognized and Rare Breed dogs breeds
