Westminster, one of the oldest sporting events in America, has strict guidelines as to what breeds are admitted to compete each year.  This year the American Kennel Club approved 6 more breeds for competition.  With these additions there are now 185 breeds eligible to compete on February 13th and 14th.  Some of the breeds are fairly well known breeds and some may surprise you.  The following are the six breeds that have been added for the 2012 competition: American English Coonhound, Cesky Terrier, Entlebucher mountain dog, Finnish Lapphund, Norwegian Lundehund, and the Xoloitzcuintli (also known as the Mexican hairless).  Here is a full list, with photos and details about each of these breeds.  Good luck to all of you new breeds!
