As their name suggests, the rarest dog breeds in the world are, in fact, pretty hard to come by. Yes, we’ve all heard of Labradors, French Bulldogs and the loveable and loyal German Shepherds. But how about the muscular Azawakhs, the active Mudis or the hairless Xoloitzcuintlis?
Canines have been around for thousands of years with some of the oldest dog breeds dating back to the end of the Ice Age, more than 11,000 years ago. But over time, whether it’s due to health problems, lack of breeding or world events, certain dog breeds have become so rare they’re only native to certain regions.
However, just like their more common canine counterparts, many of the rarest dog breeds can still offer constant cuddles, companionship and love to pass their days by playing with the best dog toys.
To find out more about the rarest dog breeds in the world right now and where you can find them, we’ve compiled a list of the top furry friends that really are one of a kind.
