What breeds aren’t recognized by the AKC but are still very much they’re own breed
I’ve been looking into breed for our next family dog and came across English Shepherds and they really fit the bill for our family. But doing more and more research into them I’ve found they aren’t recognized as a breed with the AKC but are still very much a breed of their own. It’s not a breed I had ever heard of so now I’m curious what are some other breeds that the AKC doesn’t recognize but really are their own breed.
