1920
New breeds recognized: No new breeds this year
There weren’t any new breeds introduced this year, but the German shepherd ranks as the #1 dog of the 1920s. First recognized by the AKC in 1908, German shepherds are prized for their devotion and companionship which makes them the perfect choice as both law enforcement partners and guides for the visually-impaired. The appearance of German Shepherd canine performer Rin Tin Tin likely influenced the breed’s popularity.
