   I think its around 160…. not including the “foundation stock” of rare breeds. I’ll see if I can find a source…

   Okay… Wikipedia (and we all know how reliable they are… about as reliable as dogbreedinfo.com LOL) says that the AKC recognizes 157 breeds, and 58 rare breeds in Foundation Stock.

   I want to say 166 to be exact…but not 100% sure.
   You really dont want a long list of names?

   Edit: 158…i lied!

   Tsk tsk sunshine…didn’t you learn not to site wiki’s! (I had a prof give me an F…haha). They added another breed since that was published

   Hello Sunshine is correct. Meanwhile, worldwide, meaning recognized by REPUTABLE internationally accepted KC’s, there are over 460 REAL breeds, not just cross-breds with cutesy, vomit-inducing ‘names’ to bilk uninformed buyers out of their cash, like -poos, -ugs, and -oodles.

   ConKC ‘recognizes’ mutts not just breeds so it would be expected that they ‘recognize’ hundreds of names and will take money from anyone silly enough to think that getting their mutt ‘registered’ and it would mean anything except that they are silly enough to believe that! haha

   The AKC recognizes something like 120 or so I think - it varies because there are miscellaneous added occasionally and others that end up being dropped for lack of interest in perpetuating them. You can got to and it will tell you. Wonderful thing the internet
