The American Kennel Club, or AKC, has increased its membership. New to the AKC pack are an energetic dog whose main interests is ducks and a friendly dog that would rather chase rabbits. The American Kennel Club announced Wednesday that it is recognizing the Nederlandse kooikerhondje and the grand basset griffon Vendeen. They are the first breeds added to the roster in two years. The newly added breeds are permitted to compete in many dog shows this year. But they are not yet able to take part in the biggest show. They will have to wait until 2019 to enter the Westminster Kennel Club show, held in New York City.
