The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show was debuted two new breeds on Thursday that will compete in this year's competition.

Newly joining the Herding Group judging category is the Mudi, a medium-sized farm dog from Hungary, originally bred to herd sheep and cattle. The Russian Toy will be joining the Toy Group judging category.

This year, organizers will hold the show again at Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, New York, instead of its traditional home at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.

Over 200 breeds will compete in the televised contest that starts on Saturday and concludes on Wednesday when judges determine which dog is "Best in Show."
