The only colour really considered rare in the longhair is sable. Wirehair is a bit different, it's most commom colour is wild boar.

We only have two longhair doxies that come into the shop, and both of them are black and tan..

Personally I think people should avoid writing "rare" in an ad. It makes people more interested in the rarity of the dog rather than the dog itself. Visa has rare lines, but I sure as heck wouldn't put that in an ad.
Indeed, that was one of the things that came to mind was the "rare" part of the ad. I think that was the reason she had so many responses. Heck, where she lives, it's a huge metro city with three Doxie breeders (one seems to be reputable enough, though) alone.

I feel bad for the pooch.
