To celebrate Dogust, I've gathered up some of the rarest dog breeds in the world! These are in no specific order.
Tibetan Mastiff's are huge but noble. They are easily noticeable with a rather impressive double coat. The breed is known to be an amazing guardian dog, however, its independent qualities make it a difficult dog to partake in activities such as obedience training.
Swedish Vallhund's are quite the opposite, they are smaller, and known to be excellent in obedience and agility training. Known for being fearless pets, the breed is popular among active owners.
Otterhound, per the name, are very efficient in the water. The massive dogs have webbed feet and a resistant double coat. They are great hunting dogs for both land and water.
Catahoula Leopard Dogs are one of the most beautiful on the list for sure. They are multi-colored or spotted and are believed to be the first dogs bred in the United States. They are praised by Native Americans for their incredible hunting abilities.
Azawakh's are known to be timid by nature, but are gentle, affectionate, and protective once they warm up to you. Due to their slim muscular build, they are naturally build to be amazing at agility courses. The breed has a variety of colors and marking possibilities.
Mudi's are a Hungarian herding dog and is built to be with an active family. They are known to be excellent hunters and do best as pets in a large environment. They have a beautiful thick, curly coat and an adorable short smooth face.
Carolina Dog, more commonly known as the American Dingo. Its origins are a free roaming, wild dog. Thought to be the oldest species in North America. Still close to its wild ancestors, it does best with lots of room to run and an active family!
New Guinea Singing Dog, is named because of its distinct voice. It has quite a bit in common with the American Dingo. They share physical features, were both once a wild breed, and are both very active dogs. They are now known for amazing companionship due to their intelligence.
Catalburun dogs succumbed to an unfortunate over-inbreeding due to their rarity, which is possibly the reason for their split nose and suspended ears. Originally hunting dogs, are great dogs for athletic owners.
Telomian dogs are the only Malaysian breed known to live elsewhere. Originally bred by the Orang Asli indigenous people to catch vermin. Due to the Orang Asli building homes on stilts to stay away from dangerous animals, the Telomians developed an amazing ability for climbing.
