Welcome 3 New AKC Breeds!

Three Breeds Gain Full AKC Recognition

The American Kennel Club is pleased to welcome the Cane Corso, Icelandic Sheepdog and Leonberger as the 165th, 166th, and 167th AKC recognized breeds. The new breeds became eligible for AKC registration on June 1, 2010.



The Cane Corso is a muscular and large-boned breed and is distinguished by his noble, majestic and powerful presence. The Cane Corso is easily trained, and affectionate to his owner and family.



The only native dog of Iceland, and indispensable to the Icelandic people, the Icelandic Sheepdog is playful, inquisitive, hardy and agile. The Icelandic Sheepdog adapted its working style to Iceland's local terrain and farming techniques since its arrival to the country in AD 874 – 930.



The Leonberger is a calm, graceful, non–aggressive breed, originally bred as a family, farm and draft dog. Today the breed's most important task is being a reliable family companion. In fact, Leonbergers are often called the "nanny" dog because of their affinity for children.
