Rare dog breeds around the world
I don't know about you guys, but I could only identify less than half of these guys as being purebreds and actually knowing what they looked like

I never would have guessed that a Red Bone was a rare breed! They are one of my faves!
But uhhhh why is there a little "TM" after the Mi-Ki?????

Mastiffs too?

Yeah, and I didn't realize that Mastiffs were that rare, either. |

Or like the Mi-ki

There are a few there that I do not consider as breeds. |

wonder when they'll start adding all all the "poos", LOL!
but still, the majority of the listed breeds have existed for a very long time in countries all over the world. Just have to do research and not believe all that is written on one site, i guess!

Appenzeller Mountain Dog I know is a breed from the Bernese Mountain Dog family, I have seen one of them, the Akbash I have heard of beautiful dog. I have also heard of these Argentino Dogo, Canadian Eskimo Dog, and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel my mums cousin in England breeds. The rest I have never heard of I bet they are hard to come by.

I'm completely lacking in knowledge on this question, so please bear with me, but why is it that Toy and Mini *anything* get their own breeds? A Mini Australian Shepherd? Isn't that same breed just bred to the genetic mutation of tiny? Forgive me, I know not

a dog might be the same breed (ex: Poodle) but their form determines their function. A standard poodle hunts, guards, etc but a min or toy poodle does not, hence the "breed distinction". well that's the simple explanation, LOL!

My dog is on that list. Caucasian Ovcharka
I know that around here she is rare, however in Europe they are very popular working dogs, and show dogs. Here is a recent pic of Lukka at seven months old.

hmmmm... I don't see Scottish Deerhound, also known as Lurcher on the list but I consider them rare. Interesting.

I guess it all depends on where you live, there are at least 2 Spinone Italianos in the park that Gomez plays with every day, and many more of those "rare dogs" that are not so rare over here!
Cavalier King Charles? they are a dime a dozen... It's all in the perspective...

A couple of years ago I met this woman who kept insisting my dogs were some breed from Portugal. I never figured out what she was talking about, but I found it on this list.
Do you see a resemblance between Streets: and a Cão de Fila de São Miguel? Clearly he's just a typical pitbull mix, but I can kind of see why the woman was asying that. |

Lukka'sma,she is just gorgeous.
The first time I met this breed was a few years ago at the dog show.There is a couple in my area that own a Sarplaninac.Another beautiful dog. pitgrrl,there is a resemblance.Last year there was a Cao at our SPCA,and the funny thing is,there was another one at the Toronto HS.I thought it was the same dog,but it wasn't.And this brreds ears are not docked like your normal ones.They actually have rounded ears. More and more I have seen these "rare" breeds around.

Lukka is gorgeous. Caucasian Ovcharka is on my list of possible future breeds I adore and would consider as a future family member.
