The Royal Kennel Club (RKC) officially recognizes two additional dog breeds in the UK: the Braque du Bourbonnais and the Epagneul Français. The RKC’s announcement places them as the 229th and 230th breeds on its official list.
Both breeds are described as gundog types originating in France. The recognition means they are now formally acknowledged within the UK’s breed framework, allowing them to be included in the RKC’s system of registered breeds. The two outlets that report the news focus primarily on the milestone in the UK’s numbering of recognized breeds and identify the new breeds as French gundog varieties.
No further details, such as dates, criteria, or changes to registration rules, are provided in the supplied articles. Overall, the coverage is consistent in naming the same two breeds and stating their position as the latest additions to the RKC’s recognized roster.
