<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThis section documents that expansion \u2014 from the first recorded arrival in each country, to the beginning of local breeding, and ultimately to national recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, the breed has been present in 38 countries across five regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spread has not followed a single direction, but developed through independent initiatives, cross-border cooperation and sustained breeder networks. While several countries contributed to the breed\u2019s presence in Europe, no single country outside the United States can be considered responsible for its development or for its global expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
