The world is full of dogs! At latest count, the Kennel Club recognise 218 breeds, whilst the American Kennel Club recognise 195 – but they’re also not the same! For example, the Thai Ridgeback appears for the AKC but not the Kennel Club! Whilst the Akita (not the Japanese Akita) by Kennel Club standards is just an Akita whilst in America by AKC standards it’s an American Akita! Though, a lot of British breeders still call it an American Akita for simplicity of reference.
