I'm going to look at my old AKC book. Maybe it says. The 'net doesn't always have everything on it!
I've been curious about the American Eskimo (now that I find it is BACK in AKC recognition). My parents' old '40s set of Encyc. Americana had a dog section, where it showed the American Eskimo as a recognized breed! But in the '80s, it was not. Then apparently in the '90s it is recognized. Is this a breed that "disappeared" and then reappeared? I'm mystified that something like that could happen.
That is weird. I know they were a pain for us when we were working on getting recognised. They threatened to kick us out of Misc. if we didn't get recognised. It took forever.
