Before entry into the Miscellaneous Class,
the Board will work with the national club to determine the variety
group to which the breed will be assigned. After a limited time
in the Miscellaneous Class a date would be set, at which time
the breed would become eligible to compete in a variety group
at all-breed dog shows.
This information from the AKC
Recognized Dog Breeds web page
The AKC Board of Directors has the authority to add a breed
to the list of AKC-registrable breeds if, in its opinion, sufficient
evidence is presented to justify such action. There are a number
of factors the Board considers in making this decision, including
documentation that the breed in question has been breeding true
for many generations, with accurate record keeping; evidence
that there is sufficient interest in the breed throughout the
United States; and a national club in place that meets AKC requirements
to act as the parent club for the breed.
