Context paragraphs:
American Russell Terrier Club: The American Russell Terrier Club (formerly named the English Jack Russell Terrier Club), founded by JoAnn Stoll in 1995, was the first registry in the United States to maintain the Russell Terrier as a separate breed from the Parson Russell Terrier.  The American Jack Russell Terrier Club is affiliated with both the United Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club.  The purpose of the early founders was to establish a registry for the perpetuation and development of the Russell Terrier as a pure strain of working Jack Russell Terrier keeping their blood and type pure within the registry to works towards Kennel Club recognition as an official breed in the US.  On January 1, 2001, the United Kennel Club recognized the Russell Terrier as an official breed, designating only the stock from the American Russell Terrier Club as Foundation stock for the UKC Russell Terrier.  In 2004 the American Russell Terrier Club submitted an official request to include the American Russell Terrier Club stock into the AKC FSS Program to work towards becoming an official breed under the perimeters.  On December 8, 2004, the AKC officially accepted the Russell Terrier.

Bulldog: The Bulldog is a medium-sized breed of dog commonly referred to as the English Bulldog or British Bulldog.  Other scent-hound breeds include the Small Greek Domestic Dog, Irish Wolfhound, Bluetick Coonhound, Finnish Lapphund, and the Basset Hound.  The Bulldog is a muscular, hefty dog with a wrinkled face and a distinctive pushed-in nose.  The American Kennel Club (AKC), The Kennel Club (UK), and the United Kennel Club (UKC) oversee breeding records.

Redbone Coonhound: The Redbone Coonhound is an American breed of dog used for hunting raccoon, deer, bear, and cougar.  The American Kennel Club standard says, "The Redbone mingles handsome looks and an even temperament with a confident air and fine hunting talents."  This breed has been registered with the United Kennel Club since 1902 and the American Kennel Club since 2009.  The Redbone is the breed of hound featured in the classic novel "Where the Red Fern Grows".

Small Münsterländer: The Small Münsterländer (also SM or Kleiner Münsterländer) is a versatile hunting-pointing-retrieving dog breed that reached its current form in the area around Münster, Germany.  The Large Münsterländer is from the same area, but was developed from different breeding stock and is not related as the names would suggest.  Small Münsterländers bear a resemblance to both spaniels and setters but are more versatile while hunting on land and water.  The Small Münsterländer is recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale under Group 7, Section 1.2, Continental Pointing Dogs of Spaniel type, by the American Kennel Club as a Foundation Breed, and by The Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club as a gun dog.  It is related to the Epagneul Français and the Drentsche Patrijshond.

Shikoku (dog): The Shikoku (四国犬 , Shikoku-ken , alternative names: Kochi-ken, Mikawa Inu, Japanese Wolfdog) is a native, primitive Japanese breed of dog from Shikoku island that is similar to a Shiba Inu.  The Shikoku was recently added as recognized breed of the American Kennel Club as an AKC FSS standard [ Foundation Stock Service ], it is recognized by the Japan Kennel Club, an organization recognized by AKC as an official foreign registry (AKC recognizes the Shiba Inu, however).  The Shikoku is also in the Canadian Kennel Club Hound group and the United Kennel Club, awaiting full recognition.  In 1937 the Japanese Crown recognized the Shikoku dog as a living "natural monument" of Japan.

Welsh Springer Spaniel: The Welsh Springer Spaniel is a breed of dog and a member of the spaniel family.  Thought to be comparable to the old Land Spaniel, they are similar to the English Springer Spaniel and historically have been referred to as both the Welsh Spaniel and the Welsh Cocker Spaniel.  They were relatively unknown until a succession of victories in dog trials by the breed increased its popularity.  Following recognition by The Kennel Club in 1902, the breed gained the modern name of Welsh Springer Spaniel.  The breed's coat only comes in a single colour combination of white with red markings, usually in a piebald pattern.  Loyal and affectionate, they can become very attached to family members and are wary of strangers.  Health conditions are limited to those common among many breeds of dog, although they are affected more than average by hip dysplasia and some eye conditions.  They are a working dog, bred for hunting, and while not as rare as some varieties of spaniel, they are rarer than the more widely known English Springer Spaniel with which they are sometimes confused.

French Spaniel: The French Spaniel (Epagneul Français) is a breed of dog of the Spaniel-like setter.  It was developed in France and Canada as a hunting dog, descended from dogs of the 14th century.  Popular with royalty during the Middle Ages, it nearly became extinct by the turn of the 20th century but was saved by the efforts of Father Fournier, a French priest.  One of the largest breeds of Spaniel, it typically has a white coat with brown markings.  It is a friendly breed that has few health issues, but can be affected by a syndrome called acral mutilation and analgesia.  The breed is recognised by Canadian and international kennel clubs but not by The Kennel Club (UK).  The American Kennel Club has included the breed in its Foundation Stock Service, the first step to full recognition.

German Spaniel: The German Spaniel, also known as the Deutscher Wachtelhund (German quail dog), is a breed of dog that was developed in Germany around 1890, and is used as a hunting dog.  Descended from the old German breed, the Stoeberer (lit.  "rummager"), which became popular with commoners following the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states, who required a versatile hunting dog.  Stoeberer is now a type of hunting dog in Germany with the Wachtelhund being its sole member.  The breed is not very well known outside of Germany, but was recognised by the United Kennel Club in 1996.

Polish Hunting Dog: The Polish Hunting Dog, or formerly Polish Scenthound (Polish: "Gończy Polski" ) is a breed of scent hound originating in Poland.

American Water Spaniel: The American Water Spaniel, (often abbreviated to AWS), is a breed of spaniel which originated in the United States.  Developed in the state of Wisconsin during the 19th century from a number of other breeds, including the Irish and English Water Spaniels.  The breed was saved by Dr. Fred J. Pfeifer, who set up the breed club and standard, and whose work led to recognition for the breed by the United Kennel Club, and later, the American Kennel Club.  While they are the state dog of Wisconsin, they remain a rare breed.
