Yesterday, for only the second time ( the first was at a Pet Expo/show) I met a Black Russian Terrier in person. His owners were astounded that I guessed what he was, so I explained about Dog of the Day. "BB" was huge, curly, and still learning his manners, so I wasn't allowed to pet him after the first stroke. He's just 12 months old, so will continue to grow for another 8 months to a year, and his owners said "And learn MANNERS" in his direction.
His Dad was a Russian immigrant, and mom an Asian immigrant, but we had a nice conversation, all because of their big black shaggy dog!
What rare breeds have you met in person?
