i didn't know where to post this, but new dog breed

i wasn't sure where to post this, but i have a new dog breed i think should be added. its a Black Russian Terrier. <br>Area Of Origin: The former Soviet Union<br>Original Function: Military<br>Coat: Coarse, tousled, medium length<br>Color: Black or black with a few gray hairs<br>Hight: Male: 27-30" ; Female: 26-29"<br>Weight: 80-145 pounds<br><br>History:<br>In the 1940 the Soviets imported breeds from their occupied countries, mainly German breeds, into their state-owned Red Star Kennels in order to produce military dogs. One strain descended predominantly from a Giant Schnauzer sire,and these were distinguished from the others as the "Black Terrier" group. Besides sharing border guard duty with soldiers, military tasks included detecting mines and explosives, transporting supplies, pulling sleighs, and finding wounded soldiers, all done independently and in the harshest of climates, Black Russian Terriers served in military operations in Afghanistan and Bosnia. In 1968 a breed standard was registered. In 2004 the Black Russian Terrier obtained AKC recognition.<br><br>Temperment: Black Russian Terriers are calm, confident, and courageous. They are reserved with strangers, but devoted to, and protective of family. They are affectionate and gentle. They may not be good with strange or dominant dogs, but are fine with other pets and smaller canine housemates.<br><br>Upkeep: Black Russian Terriers need a long walk or active play session daily. The coat needs thorough combing once or twice a week, and trimming every six to eight weeks.<br><br>Health Concerns: Hip displasia, elbow displasia.<br>Suggested Tests: Hip, elbow<br>Life Span: 10-11 years.<br><br>sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but i hope you'll consider the idea :)
