Dog Breed Puzzle Solution

Check out the previous post for the dog breed puzzle before reading the solution below.

Rat Terrier – Miscellaneous Class.  Acceptance into the AKC Miscellaneous Class effective July 1, 2010.  When the Board of Directors is satisfied that a breed is continuing a healthy, dynamic growth in the Miscellaneous Class, it may be admitted to registration in the Stud Book and the opportunity to compete in regular classes. (terrier designation)

English Setter – Sporting Group

Afghan Hound – Sight Hound

Harrier – Scent Hound

Newfoundland – Working Group

West Highland White Terrier – Terrier Group

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – Toy Group

Boston Terrier – Non-Sporting Group

Canaan Dog – Herding Group

Catahoula – Non-AKC American dog breed.  It is an American dog breed but is not registered with the AKC in any dog breed group – not even the Miscellaneous Class of the AKC.

Corded Poodle – Foreign Dog Breed (Non-AKC).  German in descent.

Sorry if we tried to trick you a bit with the dog breeds.  The Boston Terrier dog breed is not in the AKC Terrier Group and the Catahoula is not an AKC dog breed.  A puzzle wouldn’t be fun if it were too easy.  For more information about the various dog breed s of the world, check out ” The New Encyclopedia of the Dog” by Bruce Fogle.
