To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

I do not think Shiba Inus are abundantly rare... but the most we don't see down here I met a purebred Shiba Inu at my shelter that nobody came for. She was AWESOME and got a great home.

That is so cool. I haven't met any rare breeds. Closest I've come is a white shepherd

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.

How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

Some I don't know whether I should say rare or just uncommon. I've met a Picardy Shepherd, bergamasco, Glen of Imaal Terrier, bedlington terrier, Skye Terrier, American water spaniels, Eurasier, Norwegian Buhund. I used to work in a boarding kennel plus I frequent a dog park that can have over 200 dogs at once so I see tons of dogs on a regular basis. Its fun to meet uncommon breeds.

I have met some rare breeds. So rare that I can't remember the breed!!
At the dog park I use to take Zoee to there were two Irish Wolfhounds. You don't see those very often, at least around here.
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

oh, I met a shelter rescue a few weeks ago. It looked like a lundehund to me. It even had the extra dewclaws. Its probably a hundred times more likely it was just a chihuahua mix, but very close resemblance to a lundehund whatever it was.

Leonbergers are my very favorite rare breeds. I went to a rare breed show back many years ago and they had several Leonbergers there. I actually considered getting one years ago. There was one listed on Craig's List back a few weeks ago. The owners "were moving and couldn't take it with them". If I didn't already have 2 dogs (or if Leos were small dogs), I'd have been tempted.

I've also met several Leonbergers, GORGEOUS but huge dogs. Oohhh, love to put my hands in their coats, lol. I first met them at a Pet Expo. Then, there are 3 I see annually at the Pet Photos w/ Santa.
Saw a lundehund at a Dog Show, but wasn't allowed to touch as it was being prepped for the ring. Short haired dog, not sure what I could mess up, but I know better than to touch a dog at a show unless permitted.
Ellie, I understood your comment well first time through - met a few of those myself!
.
Lotsa Spots!
Leonbergers, Bedlingtons, Komodor, Maremma (similar to a Kuvasz)... I'm sure there are others that are not coming to mind...
