The Breeds

May 17, 2010

There are many different breed groups recognized by the AKC. For the purpose of the book, the breeds primarily being sought are the current AKC registered breeds. If you have a dog whose breed is AKC but included in the miscellaneous or FSS classes, they will also be considered for inclusion, should there be a purebred and rescue dog match.

Dogs of ALL BREEDS are welcome and encouraged to be included on the website!  Click here to submit your dog now.
