During its General Assembly in Buenos Aires, the committee of the FCI recognised three dogs breeds, which had selected for several decades in their native countries.
The provisional recognition of new breeds is going on with three new breeds entering the nomenclature of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. They are the 349th, 350th and 351st breeds officially recognised.
These recognitions are the results of years of effort by fanciers and specialists in their original countries, and they show that the diversity of dog breeds is still expanding. Some dog fanciers evoke the fact that there are more than 300 breeds waiting to be recognised around the world.
Two of the newly recognised dogs are herding breeds from Romania, the Mioritic and the Carpatin. Let’s note that in this country, a third breed, the Bucovina – a more powerful and taller breed looking a bit like the Central Asian Sheepdog – has not been recognised yet, but may very weel be soon. You will find below the standards of these two new breeds.

The third breed entering the FCI nomenclature comes from Australia: it is the Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog, whose look may seem quite similar to that of his Cousin the Australian Cattle Dog for people are not familiar with the breed. Yet it is a completely different dog, from a morphological and behavioural point of view, and they have different ancestors. Their common point is the fact that they are two hard working dogs.
