NEW YORK -- A powerful Argentine big-game hunter and a sociable French water dog have made the American Kennel Club's list of recognized breeds.
The newcomers are "offering dog lovers very different choices," AKC spokeswoman Gina DiNardo said in a statement. The dogo Argentino, developed by an Argentine doctor in the last century, is a large, strong and tenacious dog designed to hunt animals as large as mountain lions and wild boars. Aficionados prize the breed's loyalty and athleticism, but dogos also are among breeds that have been banned in some places. Even the AKC cautions that only experienced dog owners should get them.
