However, just as this OP article pointed out, it says "admitted to registry" - not necessarily "fully recognized". Breeds are put on the "Miscellaneous" list and get ILP numbers for registry purposes, until the BC establishes a solid stud record for some generations (and they wish to be fully recognized). So, as far as I can tell, the B&T may simply have been put on the "Misc" grouping.
My dog's breed (Irish Terrier) has only been AKC since 1968, but the breed is one of the oldest terriers around.
AKC is strange, some breed groups do not want to be AKC, like the Muensterlander.
Yes, I know about misc too. (I was involved in the spinone breed for years as we tried and finally succeeded in getting them out of misc. and into regular AKC registration--I think the breed was in misc longer than any other breed).
I wondered if they weren't in misc at that time, but it doesn't really say. Somewhere out there is the info tho. ;)
