20: American Bully unrecognized breed
The American Bully is a medium-sized dog with a short coat that sheds minimally, requiring very little grooming. A good brushing once a week or bi-weekly is enough to get rid of any dead and loose hair. They are also known to be low-barking dogs, barking only to alert. The American Bully might have a scary look, but they are actually very laid-back loving dogs that make great family dogs. They are loving, playful, loyal, and fond of kids. These muscular dogs are also great lap warmers, as they love to snuggle. They are currently not recognized with the American KC, but the British United Kennel Club recognized the breed in 2013
