As part of our ongoing coverage of Westminster, watch the video below to meet the six new breeds that will be making their Westminster debuts in 2011 now that they have been recognized by the American Kennel Club. You'll see a Boykin Spaniel, a Bluetick Coonhound, a Redbone Coonhound, a Cane Corso, a Leonberger and Rassa, the Icelandic Sheepdog from Vashon Island, Wash., that we first introduced you to in the first entry in this series, here.
Meet the six new breeds of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. The voice of the Westminster dog show, David Frei, talks with TODAY's Lester Holt about the latest canine's in the popular show.


your best friends ... i could gaze in their eyes forever. this is unconditional love .. human luv does not cut it.
Oh, Rassa! You are So cute! The best to you and Kol.
These aren't new breeds. Maybe new to this show, but not new breeds.
Just look at that face!
I'm surprised the Leonberger is considered a new breed as it has been around and been owned by European nobility since the 1800's

Give me a good old fashioned German Shepherd, or true Siberian Huskie any time. Nice to have new dogs on the docket but the focus in the media always seems to be the cute, small dogs that look like stuffed toys or the outragious haircuts of the Poodles and others. Love the show though.
when love ones and friends are dying around you, when all others forsake you and wheather you're a rich man or a poor man,wheather you're good looking or uguly, young or old, if you want a ture one that will love and die for you and be by you're side day or night. GET A RAT TERRIER!!! you will find the greatest love you will ever know when a rattie claims you as theirs!
