I read in the July 2001 AKC Gazette that Beauceron, Black Russian Terrier, Glen of Imaal Terrier, Neapolitan Mastiff, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and Redbone Coonhound have just been added to the Miscellaneous class. Which means that while they are in the Misc. class, if they gain popularity (or at least maintain their #s) than the AKC will recognize.
