Two new breeds added, part two

The mudi hails from Hungary and got its start as a sheep herding dog in the 1800s.

Genetically, the breed also has connections with the other breeds like the German spitz, according to local New Jersey media outlet NJ.com.

The dog rose to prominence after catching the attention of a museum director in the 1930s, NPR reported.

Two new breeds added, part one

This year, Westminster Dog Show has added two new breeds to the competition.

One of the new breeds making an appearance on the show floor this year is a Mudi, a Hungarian herding dog.

The other new breed is known as a Russian Toy, which resemble Chihuahas and have fox-like fur, but originate from a breed of English Toy Terriers.

Despite being one of the most well-known athletic events in the United States, the Westminster Dog Show has reasonably priced tickets, according to Sporting News.

During the preliminary rounds, tickets are $12.50 for children ages five and up and $25 for adults.
