These rare dog breeds are as adorable as they are interesting
People might not bat an eyelash at seeing you walking a Lab, poodle or German shepherd down the street, but what about a Jindo or a Bolognese? Beyond the common household pups that we’ve all grown to love, there are still several unusual and super-cute dog breeds that are full of surprises.
You can find these lesser-known breeds in the American Kennel Club’s Foundation Stock Service Breeds category, but we’ve put together our favorites for you in a handy list. Expect to see a few of these up-and-coming pooches at your local dog park.
