Any Q

Currently, as with other mixed breeds, Labradoodles are not considered a purebred or breed by the AKC and other major kennel club associations in North America. Technically, they are a hybrid of two pure breeds rather than a new breed.


Why are Labradoodles not recognized?

Despite being hugely popular and instantly recognizable, dogs such as the Labradoodle are hybrids and can't be registered with national kennel clubs and therefore don't officially “exist.” Although they play, eat, and poop just like a real dog. But this doesn't just apply to designer dogs.

What breeds are not recognized by the AKC?

The rough-coated Belgian Laekenois is the rarest of the four Belgian herding breeds, and the only one without full AKC recognition.

How does a breed get recognized by the AKC?

A demonstrated following and interest (minimum of 100 active household members) in the breed (in the form of a National Breed Club). A sufficient population in this country (minimum of 300-400 dogs), with a three-generation pedigree. Dogs in that pedigree must all be of the same breed.
