1.The Appenzeller Sennenhund

This little guy could turn out to be one of your best friends. He loves jogging so would make a good jog companion. He is also very good with kids and other pets, so he is a great family dog.

2.The Catalburun

Originally bred for hunting in Turkey, these rare possibly inbred dogs are notable for their split snouts and hanging ears. However, just look at those big eyes because do they not just make you think awww?

3.The New Guinea Singing Dog

This good looking dog gets his unusual name from the strange sounds he omits when communicating. Once considered a wild breed this dog makes a great companion with his intelligent and caring nature.

4.The Carolina Dog

This dog is so rare it is bred in captivity now. There is said to be only around 4000 left. Once considered a wild dog and roaming free the Carolina dog was only discovered in 1974.

5.The Mudi Dog

The Mudi is from Hungary and is one of the finest herding dogs there is. An extra bonus is that the Mudi is a great rodent exterminator! However, he is not going to win any beauty contests.

6.Lagotto Romagnolo

This woolly coated chap is from the regional areas of Italy and is an excellent truffle hunter. You have to admit that even though he is rare he is also very cool looking.

7.The Azawakh Dog

This dog was bred mainly in west Africa. Although particularly elegant and regal looking they make devoted companions and great trackers in the bush. They are highly protective of their owners.

8.Peruvian Inca Orchid

This unusual pet has been around since AD 750. His most striking feature is that he is hairless and his skin may vary in color quite considerably. They are known to be agile and clever and make great hunting dogs.

9.The Catahoula Leopard Dog

This unusual looking little fellow is believed to be the first dog ever bred in the USA. He was named after Catahoula Parish and was used primarily to hunt wild boar. With unusual eyes often bi colored and a leopard like coat he sure is different!

10.Chinook

With a double layered coat this handsome looking dog can withstand the coldest of weather. They are super strong too so make great sled pulling dogs, but what makes them different is the fast speed that they can pull a sled at.

11.The Norwegian Lundehund

This unusual breed of dog can not only push its head back to touch its spine but also has six toes on each foot. Keen ears that will point like radars make it very unusual. It also makes for a great lovable pet too.

12.The Otto Hound

As the name implies this lovable bundle of joy is very good in water. The Otto Hound also has webbed paws which makes swimming easier. They are also energetic loving pets to have.
