But, perhaps, they saw – in order for the breed to be officially recognized, it must exist for at least 40 years.

American hairless terrier
It was recognized in 2016 and has an incredibly interesting history. The breed appeared in 1972 after a completely naked rat terrier puppy was born in Louisiana. This happened due to an unknown genetic mutation. This puppy was later used for breeding – so he became the ancestor of a new breed.
You can buy such a miracle at a price of 15 thousands rubles.
Barbet
Technically, the barbet has been around for quite some time, but it was not officially recognized until 2019. They are relatives of the poodle, so they are quite rare in the United States. With a dog of this breed, you are guaranteed to get a lot of curious glances while walking in the park.
Puppy prices start at 15-20 Thousands rubles.
Azawakh
Another old new breed officially introduced in 2019. But in fact, the Azawakhs are ancient hunting dogs that have existed for thousands of years. Outdoors they are very fast and energetic, but indoors they behave calmly.
Azawakh puppies are in order 25 thousands rubles.
Dogo argentino
The Dogo Argentino breed first appeared in the 1920s, and was officially recognized by the AKC only a few months ago. These dogs were bred as pack hunting dogs capable of killing large prey: from cougars to boars. Due to their challenging nature, they need an experienced host to teach them.

Great Vendée Basset Griffon

Dutch Kooikerhondje
These Dutch hunting dogs were officially added to the AKC in 2016, but have already gained popularity in North America. Koikerhondje are spaniel-type dogs that love to run and play. However, they definitely need a strict coach, because if you allow them too much, they can become insolent and arrogant.
In Russia, these dogs are quite rare. The cost of a purebred puppy can range from 40 to 60 thousand rubles.
Pumi
This is a medium-sized herding dog breed, bred in 1700 in Hungary. Fluffy, playful shaggy dogs that love to play with the owner. The breed was added to the AKC in 2016, but the dogs have long been used in their homeland, Hungary, as herders. They are extremely intelligent and easy to train, which makes them a great human friend.
Pumi puppies are relatively inexpensive, order 15-20 Thousands rubles, but it is very difficult to find them on sale.
Servants
These “African greyhounds,” as they are commonly called, are quite rare in the United States. According to AKC, the first mentions of sluga puppies date back to 1981, and the breed itself was not officially recognized until 2016. Slugs were originally used in North Africa to hunt all types of game, including gazelles, wild pigs, jackals, foxes, ostriches and hares. The temperament of these dogs will not suit all breeders: they are shy and unsociable.
The price of these greyhound puppies starts from 40 thousands rubles.
