Well that is astonishing. The NZ Kennel Club has no choice but to recognise automatically any breed of dog that is recognised by the parent world canine organisation and accept the most relevant standard of the breed. So NZ has as many breeds it recognises as the international organisation it pays affiliation fees ro annually. This means of course, that at any of the conformation shows here, a internationally recognised breed can be exhibited and the judges expected to be able to judged according to the standard on a pre-warned basis. The only exception here is the half dozen breeds who are barred by Government regulations (these include American Pit Bull Terriers).
