Dogs should be the most common pets in our lives. Do you know how many kinds of dogs there are in the world? Some friends may have searched, and the answers are 178. However, some of these 178 kinds of dogs are very rare, and even some rare dogs are not included in the dog breed collection. I think there are still many people who don't know their existence. You can have a look at the cute ones you want to know~

1. Carolina dog

Carolina dogs can only be seen in the southeast of the United States. Some of them are like Chinese garden dogs, but their personalities are very different from those of garden dogs. Carolina dogs can adapt to extremely hot weather, are very independent, and like to play by themselves. Although they look tall and powerful, they are weaker than ordinary dogs and move slowly.

2. Norwegian lundehund

Norwegian Lund hounds have sharp ears like foxes, and they can fold! Another feature is that they have six toes on each foot, and their front legs can turn outward at 90 degrees. Their muscles and bones are very soft! Norwegian Lund hounds are very good at climbing cliffs and are often used to catch gulls on cliffs.

3. Portuguese Water Dog

Many people are not strangers to Portuguese water hounds. After all, they are the dogs selected by Obama... But in fact, Portuguese water hounds are relatively rare. They were very popular with Portuguese coastal residents in the middle ages. They can drive fish into fishermen's nets and also act as messengers between fishing boats on the sea. Portuguese water hounds are gentle, loyal, brave and do not shed hair. They are very suitable for pets!

4. Greenland dog

Greenland dogs not only look a little like husky, but also have a very similar character, um... Like husky, they like wolf howling. In fact, they are considered to be the offspring of Arctic wolves. They are strong and very durable. They were often used to hunt walruses and bears in the past!

5. Kuvasz

Is it because of its hairiness? Kuvaz is a shepherd dog from Hungary. Like its simple and honest appearance, it is very loyal and patient. Unfortunately, their fate is very bad. After the Second World War, there were only 30 left in the world.

6. Kai

Kaitong is the oldest and rarest dog in Japan. They are brave and calm. They are not only good at hunting, but also can swim and climb trees!

7. Sloughi

The North African Hound is an extremely rare ancient breed in Africa. It is said that when the French general visited Algeria in 1835, he found that the breeding environment of this kind of dog was very superior. They slept under the duvet and wore jewelry all over. Unfortunately, after World War II, North African hounds were on the verge of extinction.

8. Catalburun

The most obvious feature of Kate Brown dogs is that their noses are divided into two parts. They come from Türkiye, run very fast, have good endurance and smell, and no one can beat them in hunting. But at the same time, it is very friendly to human beings, and there has never been an attack on human beings in history.

9. Pumi

The Bomi dog has existed as early as the 17th and 18th centuries. It is a hybrid dog born from the Polly dog and the poodle. Although it looks cute, it actually likes barking very much. They need freedom and their own territory, so it is easy to fight with other dogs.

10. Stabyhoun

The stubby howler is a rare dog living in the Netherlands. They are very talented, so many poor people used to like to keep them.

They have a very quick reaction ability. They can not only hunt, but also help their masters catch mice and pull horses. They are also very good at swimming!

11. Pungsan

Toyama dog is a dog that appears in many Korean fairy tales. Although they are docile and lovely in appearance, they are actually very strong. Brave ones can also chase and hunt large beasts! Toyama dog is a part of Korea's national heritage. Because of its small number, few people know it.

12. Sapsali

Sapusali dogs are very cute, so cute that they can eat by their faces! They don't have any skills living in South Korea. It's just that people think it can scare away ghosts, so they treat it like a mascot. But in the mid-20th century, there were only eight sapsalis left.

Some of these rare dogs are cute, some are strong, but they are rare, so they become especially precious. Many of them are extinct due to war. I hope that there will be no war in the future, so that the number of dogs that only exist in the world can grow day by day.
