About the miscellaneous class dogs
Breeds in transition toward full AKC recognition — they meet most criteria but haven't yet been assigned to a permanent group.
Common breeds
Breeds in this class change over time as they move into full recognition. Recent examples have included the Boerboel, Russell Terrier, Wirehaired Vizsla, Coton de Tulear, and others.
What to expect
- Varied — research each breed individually
- Often less common, so less familiar to the average person
- Same care principles apply regardless of recognition status
