The AKC has recognized several new breeds of dogs lately. The newest breed to join the herding group is the Icelandic Sheepdog. Two other new breeds have joined the working group: Cane Corso and the Leonberger. If you wish to learn more about these breeds you can contact: www.icelanddogs.com, www.canecorso.org and www.leonbergerclubofamerica.com
Switching to another topic I want to mention Megaesophagus in dogs. It is a condition in which the esophagus has become constricted, thus preventing the normal flow of food, liquids and bodily fluids which pass through the mouth and down the pathway to the stomach. Often when it occurs in newborn puppies, they cannot nurse without spitting up and milk coming out their nose. The condition is considered to be hereditary in some breeds. It may be mild with symptoms as small as a cough or regurgitation of small bits of food. Or, it may cause the animal to be unable to eat at all due to dilation of the entire esophagus or restriction of the esophagus.
X-rays are the most accurate way to tell. Aspiration pneumonia is a common complication of this condition...food can get caught in the lungs.
If your dog has megaesophagus and can eat, it is best to serve them soft food in small portions. Elevating the food and water bowl helps also.
