The American Kennel Club, or AKC, has named another kind of dog to its registry. 美国养犬俱乐部（AKC）已将另一种狗列入其登记册。 Say hello to the Danish-Swedish farmdog. Or maybe say "hej," the word for hello in Swedish and Danish. 向丹麦瑞典混血农场狗问好。或者可以说“hej”，瑞典语和丹麦语中的“你好”。 AKC officials announced the addition to its list on January 2. The recognition means the breed now may compete for many best in show prizes. It also will probably create wider interest in the small, lively dogs. Fans of the breed are happy for the honor, but some also worry about the effect increased attention will have on the dog. AKC 官员于 1 月 2 日宣布将其添加到名单中。这一认可意味着该品种现在可以争夺许多最佳的比赛奖项。它还可能会引起人们对活泼的小型犬的更广泛的兴趣。该品种的粉丝们为这一荣誉感到高兴，但有些人也担心增加关注会对狗产生影响。 Carey Segebart is one of the people who worked to get Danish-Swedish farmdogs recognized by the AKC. "We're excited about it. We're looking forward to it," she said. She plans to show one of her own at a dog show this month near her home in the American state of Iowa. Carey Segebart 是致力于让丹麦-瑞典农场犬获得 AKC 认可的人之一。“我们对此感到兴奋。我们很期待，”她说。她计划本月在美国爱荷华州她家附近的一场狗展上展示自己的一只狗。 Still, she thinks more attention can have both good and bad results for the breed. "We don't want the breed to just explode too quickly," she said. 尽管如此，她认为更多的关注对这个品种来说既有好也有坏的结果。“我们不希望这个品种爆发得太快，”她说。 The Danish-Swedish Farmdog Club of America says the breed, DSF for short, goes back centuries in parts of what are now Denmark, southern Sweden and some other European countries. 美国丹麦瑞典农场狗俱乐部表示，这个品种（简称DSF）可以追溯到几个世纪前，生活在现在的丹麦、瑞典南部和其他一些欧洲国家的部分地区。" They're interesting, fun little dogs," said Segebart, who has owned them since 2011 and is the club's incoming president. She said they will try anything and “succeed at most everything." “它们是有趣、有趣的小狗，”Segebart 说，他自 2011 年以来一直拥有它们，也是俱乐部即将上任的主席。她说他们会尝试任何事情，并且“几乎一切都会成功”。 In their homelands, the dogs' main job was to control small animals called rodents. However, they also can herd, act as watchdogs and be playful with children. The club says some Danish-Swedish farmdogs have even performed in circuses. 在它们的家乡，狗的主要工作是控制称为啮齿动物的小动物。然而，它们也可以放牧、充当看门狗并与孩子们玩耍。该俱乐部表示，一些丹麦瑞典混血的农场狗甚至曾在马戏团表演。 After Denmark and Sweden became more developed in the 20th century, DSF fans decided to make the breed official in both nations. Kennel clubs there began registering the breed in 1987. 20 世纪丹麦和瑞典变得更加发达后，DSF 爱好者决定在这两个国家正式认定该品种。那里的养犬俱乐部于 1987 年开始注册该品种。 In the United States, many of the about 350 Danish-Swedish farmdogs nationwide already compete in agility, obedience or other sports that are open to all dogs, including mixed breeds. 在美国，全国约 350 只丹麦瑞典混血农场犬中的许多已经参加了敏捷性、服从性或其他对所有狗（包括混种狗）开放的运动项目。 Until now, the dogs could not enter the traditional breed-by-breed judging that leads to best in show prizes at major dog shows. They may appear later this year at two major televised events, the National Dog Show and the AKC National Championship. 到目前为止，这些狗还无法进入传统的逐品种评审，从而在大型犬展上获得最佳表演奖。它们可能会在今年晚些时候出现在两项主要的电视赛事中：全国犬展和 AKC 全国锦标赛。 The Danish-Swedish farmdog is the AKC's 202nd breed and "a wonderful addition to a family that is able to provide it with the exercise and mental stimulation that it needs," said the AKC’s Gina DiNardo. 丹麦-瑞典农场犬是 AKC 的第 202 个品种，AKC 的吉娜·迪纳尔多 (Gina DiNardo) 表示，“它是家庭的绝妙补充，能够为它提供所需的运动和精神刺激”。 Danish-Swedish farmdog lovers talked for several years about whether they should try to get AKC recognition and the attention that is likely to come with it, Segebart said. The number of people wanting to buy a young farmdog, or puppy, has grown quickly over the last ten years. The wait for a DSF puppy is usually a year or more, she said. Segebart 说，丹麦和瑞典的农场狗爱好者多年来一直在讨论他们是否应该尝试获得 AKC 的认可以及可能随之而来的关注。过去十年里，想要购买年轻农场狗或小狗的人数迅速增加。她说，等待 DSF 小狗的时间通常是一年或更长时间。 Fans of the breed worry that its appealing, relatively easy-care nature could make it quickly become too popular for its own good. They are not the first to worry. Similar concerns surround the French bulldog, which the AKC now says is the most popular breed in the country. Breeding for desired qualities has led to many health problems for the dogs. 该品种的粉丝担心，它的吸引力和相对容易照顾的性质可能会使其很快变得太受欢迎，而不利于其自身的利益。他们并不是第一个担心的人。类似的担忧也围绕着法国斗牛犬，AKC 现在表示法国斗牛犬是该国最受欢迎的品种。为了获得所需的品质而进行的繁殖导致了狗的许多健康问题。
