Four new breeds joined the party this year.

More than 200 breeds are recognized by the American Kennel Club and are therefore eligible for the Westminster show. The four new entrants in 2021 are:

• The barbet, a curly haired bearded dog;

• the Belgian Laekenois, a shaggier shepherd;

• the Biewer terrier, a longhaired, three-colored toy terrier;

• and the Dogo Argentino, a white muscular dog with a smooth coat.

Here’s this year’s barbet competition:
