There are many of breeds currently enrolled in AKC FSS or Foundation Stock Service. Dogs of a breed have to be enrolled in FSS as a precursor to being eligible for AKC registration. Once they have reached the appropriate number of registered generations in the breed, they then move to the miscellaneous class (which they can be in conformation shows in) until the standard has been finalized and approved by both AKC and the breed club. Then the move into the group that pertains to the breed.

Miscellaneous class:

The breeds are not necessarily new breeds, but they are new to the US. There are over 700 purebred breeds across the world and with all of the new technology and shipping options the "new" breeds are able to make it to the US.
The are many other breeds that are not registered by AKC and other registries have popped up to register the new breeds but many of them are not legitimate. People just want something that is different and a registered purebred. I do not think that AKC will register some breeds due to the reputation of the breeds (even if it isn't deserved) like American Pit Bull Terriers, but AKC does have American Staffordshire Bull Terriers which are almost the same.
AKC will only register purebreds, I do not think that they will ever register any of the doodles or mixes of any sort. I do think that most of the answers on here are from people misreading the question, anymore everyone has their opinion on the doodles and they have to voice it (which I am occasionally guilty of too)

There are several new or rare breeds that are now being noticed but haven't passed the strict guidelines of the AKC yet. The AKC requires the bloodlines to be totally quality controlled. The bredders have to be very careful in their program and breed only the standard quality dogs, others are spayed or neutered to preserve the quality.
The AKC has added many breeds over the years and introduce them in the Miscellaneous Group. The Redbone Hound was added recently as well as a few interantionally recognized breeds.
There are rare breeds like the Alaskan Klee Kai (mini husky) and the Carolina Dog (American dingo dog) that are on their way to being recognized by AKC. they have been recognized by other top clubs like the UKC and the International breed clubs. Others aren't quite to that point but their breeders are working very hard to get them there. Check the last link for a site dedicated to rare breeds, some has pics and info on each one (highlighted blue). Includes the breeds country of origin and characteristics. You may be able to do a search by name to find websites dedicated to a certain breed.
By the way did you know that the American Pit Bull Terrier is considered a rare breed so is the Bluetick Coonhound. A lot of people don't realize that some common breeds are considered rare because their breeding programs aren't quite set yet.
Check the links below for more info and pics of rare breeds.
Great question and I gave you a star for it. I hope others check it out so they can learn about rare breeds too.

I don't know if this is what you are talking about or not, but some are also called "Hybrid Dogs" or "Designer Dogs". Originally this crossbreeding started out of the desire for the perfect house pet, considering the best traits of 2 dogs of different breeds and putting them together to create the ideally-behaved house pet. They are not intended for further breeding but rather (sorry to keep repeating), the ideal house pet. (Not that they couldn't be bred, but this is not their purpose.) The resulting breed names are a combination of the 2 dogs' breeds.
I have a Boston Terrier / Beagle mix, often referred to as a Boston Beagle or a Boggle, and I have a Pug / Rat Terrier mix, often referred to as a PugRat. They have been perfect - so easy to train, NEVER an accident in the house, VERY smart.
Labradoodle = Labrador / Poodle mix
Puggle = Pug / Beagle mix
Maltipoo = Maltese / Poodle mix
and so on.
We got our dogs from Pet City Pets in Ypsilanti, Michigan - they specialize in top breeder supplied hybrid dogs. Their website is www.petcitypets.com and they do ship pets out of state. Their website gives more of a background of the hybrid dog concept and has pictures.
I know a while after we got our dogs I began to notice a bunch of celebrities were photographed with Puggle puppies. Is it a bandwagon thing? Owning one might be, but I hope breeding them isn't - but like anything else that makes money there will be people who try to get in on it but cut some corners and maybe aren't using the best practices.
The only misleading thing about my dogs was we were told they would not get any bigger than 12 - 15 pounds. My Boggle is 35 pounds (mostly all muscle - she's not overfed or overweight) and my PugRat is 18 pounds. But I would never give them up!

They are designer dogs, and AKC and UKC does not recognize them as breeds. From my reading they are in the process of making a new organization with breeds. Some people may not know this, but to be a "designer dog" each parent has to be a purebred, otherwise they are just regular mutts! I have learned this all recently. I have just got a cute "Chug," a Chihuahua and Pug mix. He is the best, I have always heard growing up that mixed breeds were the best. Check out this site for other names and pics http://www.achclub.com/

Oi, here is a site, more than the people who didn't read the question can offer. It lists the breeds and it lists many of the designer dog names, but doesn't claim them as breeds so it's all good.
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/a-z.htm
Most aren't new at all, just recently becoming popular. It seems that either the AKC may be attempting to add to it's list all of a sudden *doesn't help them having close to 400 unrecognized breeds out there* or the clubs for the breeds have suddenly decided it'd be a great idea to join the AKC. The latter isn't very likely, as I've heard of many clubs REFFUSING the AKC.
Good luck, and I appologize for the idiot answers.

They're considered designer dogs. All they really are is a mix of 2 different breed of dogs. Goldendoodles - Golden Retriever/Poodle, Maltipoo - Maltese/Poodle, Peke-a-poo - Peke/Poodle, Yorkiepoo - Yorkie/Poodle., Puggle - Pug/Beagle, Bug - Boston Terrier/Pug. The list goes on & on. The belief is that if you mix 2 pure bred dogs together you get desired qualities from both without the health problems that each breed gets.

They are basically designer dogs that have been around for a while with different dogs mixed it. Like the daisy dog, which is a mix of a yorkie, maltese, and shih tzu. That is the only one that i know of. But there are also some 'hybrid' dogs that are just mixes with a disguised name. Like the eskifon. You wouldn't put two names together, but it is a mix of a american eskimo dog and a brussels griffon. There are also dogs like Shiloh Shepherds which breeders are calling a new breed, though it is not recognized by the AKC. It looks to me just like a long haired german shepherd. But they are working at getting it recognized. I don't know if this helps. But try looking at dogbreedinfo.com. They have all breeds, including hybrids and pure breeds, and non recognized breeds.

These are not "new breeds" but rather purebreds crossed together so someone can charge a high price. Sad thing is the American public eats up this kind of baloney! All sorts are already in pounds and shelters. Sick.... isn't it?!!!? And NO.... AKC is not considering these as registerable purebreds. THAT is impossible when it's a "made up" breed.... they don't (and can't) breed true to type, temperament or health!
