Meeting Rare Breeds!

I think Leonbergers are becoming more and more common actually.

I think Polish Tatra's are pretty rare. Here is one I met at a spay and neuter clinic that was a puppy. I just thought he was a Great Pyrenees.

Rarest dog I've ever met was a Schipperke, named Skippy... He was a friend of mine's dog...very cute, very sweet.

Mudis are GORGEOUS. I have a friend who is dying to get her hands on one. She loves her herding dogs. Lol

There was a dog show here a little while ago. I don't think they'd be considered rare or anything, but breeds I don't see around where I live. For example, I got to pat a Bernese Mountain dog for the first time a few days ago. Lots of beautiful dogs at the show.

Its funny how breeds get dispersed throughout the country. I know there are places where you don't see many german shorthaired pointers and to me it just blows my mind because they are as common as labradors around here. I think two of the dogs I saw on Pitbulls and Parolees once were gsp crosses and not pitties.

We have three entlebuchers who shop at my store. So random.

Around Kelowna there is a very large number is rare breeds.. I have met 2 leonbergers, an otterhound, lots of Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, a Puli, Blood hound, basenji, giant schnauzers, and more I can think of right now lol.
I have been lucky to have met alot of rare breeds, they are all so unique.

I saw a Great Pyrenees one time, which I had never seen before. My neighbor has a Basenji. I saw a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever one time at Petsmart... one of my favorite breeds and the only one I've seen! Soo beautiful. My other neighbor has this HUGE Mastiff. I don't know what breed he is specifically, but you don't see big mastiffs like that much around here. My other neighbor also has a Vizsla and Weimeraner, I LOVE them! (I know they aren't super rare but the only ones I have seen).
Truth is, I've only seen like 3 dalmatians in my entire life. I promise, I do get out and see a lot of dogs, but they just seem to be pretty rare around here. It's always a treat to see one, they're so beautiful!!

Bloodhounds actually are pretty common. I will have one someday, I love them.
