On "Fox and Friends" this morning, we got to meet four dogs whose breeds will be officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 2015. The kennel club announced that the Spanish water dog, the Cirneco dell'Etna, the Bergamasco and the Boerboel will become recognized breeds Jan. 1 2015. There will be 184 AKC-recognized breeds after the additions.
The Boerboel is an old dog from South Africa, where the name means farm dog. DiNardo said the Boerboel is gentle, but naturally protective of their owners, just like a German shepherd or Doberman. Because of that trait and its size, she said it might not be the best choice for a first-time dog owner.
