pitbulls they are highly sought after as family pets but are reasonably common throughout the dog world in fact most colors of pitbulls are common because of the years of different gene types through generations of the breed but as it turns out and all black pitbull is quite hard to come by we have here pathetic and Jordan they're here for the first time and as a result they often come with a hefty price tag the only real difference between a black pit bull and other colored pit bulls is the color sometimes their eye color is darker but their size and shape are very similar to other pit bulls even their personality isn't all that much different remember pit bulls and other dog breeds are products of their environment more so than their genetics the black pit bull also looks quite similar to the canis Panther which is an all black dog made up of four breeds when you breed a Great Dane and a Doberman Pinscher with a black Labrador Retriever and American Staffordshire Bull Terrier the canis Panther is the result the four dogs were chosen for their guarding abilities protectiveness and loyalty number 13 Catawba rune if you're searching for a hunting companion that looks just a little bit different from other furry friends then the Catawba rune is a worthwhile option this rare breed of dog originates from Turkey and its name means split nose well that's kind of an absurd name for a dog breed it'll all make sense when you see it the nose of this dog develops in what looks like two pieces with a thin layer of skin joining the two while some people think this splitting of the nose makes it a better hunter it's merely a cosmetic feature the Catawba rune which also goes by the name of the Turkish pointer and split nose pointer is man's best friend in the great outdoors this dog has incredible stamina and requires a lot of physical and mental stimulation to keep it out of trouble in the right environment though it makes the best friend the qatal beroun

choose from hairless or coded the coded variety has a short and flat coat and the hairless dog just has a tough and smooth layer of skin even the coloring of this unique breed is something special if you decide that a Show Low eats queenly is for you then you can opt for one that's black slate gray black bronze red or liver colored whichever color you get though you can expect it to be a faithful companion Mexican hairless dogs are intelligent and thoughtful they also move with grace and elegance and furrow their forehead when deep in thought even though they appear to be delicate this breed is surprisingly robust and strong that might be why they were one of the most popular dogs in ancient Aztec and Maya times as healers and guides to the underworld number 11 burgum asked o sheepdog you might be wondering why we're showing you a picture of a janitor's mop instead of one of the dog breeds in the world but take a closer look this is a real dog the burgomaster sheepdog is not one that you'll see all that often and was first bred by shepherds in Persia over 2,000 years ago what stands out the most about this dog is of course its coat it has loose mats of three different hair textures that make it look like it hasn't seen a bath or brush in years this layer of felt like fur protects the dog's body and legs from the cold not to mention wild predators in the Italian Alps where the pooch originates but aside from its fur there's a reason why this dog is man's best friend it is a hard worker they also have a heart of gold and are very loyal loving and bright you'll even find that they're easy to train and will watch over loved ones vigilantly they can be a little aloof with strangers but a bit of time can make all the difference this rare dog is every farmers dream number 10 Tibetan Mastiff dog the Tibetan Mastiff is a dog that makes you want to snuggle up with it and nestle your face in its fur they are giant fluffy and ridiculously cute but before you do all that it pays to know a bit about this rare dog breed Tibetan Mastiffs were bred as guard dogs for property and livestock hundreds of years ago in Tibet hence the name Tibetan if you didn't make that connection already they stand at about 26 inches to the shoulder and can weigh well over 100 pounds but under all that fluff is a muscular solid dog that means business but if you think they'll be stomping around your home knocking everything over you'd be wrong they are surprisingly agile and light footed which means they can surprise anyone trying to break into your they also have v-shaped ears a broad head and a beautifully noble face with expressive brown eyes well you would need to be an experienced dog owner to bring one of these dago's home you'll likely enjoy the protection and personality they bring into your household number 9 Thai Ridgeback it's okay to be a little fearful when you see a Thai Ridgeback for the first time after all they do look slightly terrifying that's a good eight to nine months before we found our first Thai Thai Ridgebacks are muscular dogs of a medium size they come in blue black fawn or red and quite often have spotted black or blue tongues even their fur is unique with them getting their name of Ridgeback from the way the fur on their back grows in a different direction to the rest of their body while their unique looks are one reason why people adore this rare breed their personality is a whole different one they are a loyal loving pet but also one that can be a protector for your family they were bred for hunting and guarding and are both independent and self-sufficient by nature Thai Ridgebacks can also be quite suspicious of strangers and are incredibly protective of their property they are also reserved and have a high prey Drive while also being quite intelligent if you fancy such a dog then make sure you're by no means a novice with dog ownership number a thus ng are you looking for a companion to chew all your shoes and socks and anything else it can find and boy do we have the dog for you the Basenji comes from the Congo and was initially bred to control village rodent populations and flush out the small game they are small 16 to 17 inch high dogs with short coats curled tails and cute little wrinkled foreheads oh there almond-shaped eyes almost look a little human-like and they are both inquisitive and sweet-faced dago's but don't let their sweep adorable faces fool you for these dogs are gonna keep you on your toes anything you leave on the ground is fair game to be chewed and you're gonna need to offer them a lot of exercise and stimulation the Basenji can also require a lot of patience to train so they are not for first-time owners they suit smaller homes due to their small size but they need wide-open spaces to explore remember they have high prey Drive Stu hunt out small game so a rural environment is the best one for this rare dog breed number seven as a walk the as a walk is a hound dog that you won't see all too often in your neighborhood in fact you can even describe them as rare they live for up to 15 years and are a West African sighthound while you can find them in the United States they are far more common in the likes of Niger Mali and Burkina Faso more under control so he'll see a bird and he'll look at me but even though they aren't that common their features are distinctive enough for you to know in as a walk when you see one they can be a sandy fawn color red blue black brown and white or any variation of these colors their heads often have a black mask and there can sometimes be white markings on their tail bib and legs they're not a dull dog that's for sure as a walk our beautiful Guardians and companion dogs they are also gentle affectionate and protective of their people and property that's why they make amazing family pets but before you rush out to track down and as a lock for your family it's worth knowing that they can be quite standoffish especially to strangers yeah it's same they also don't like being touched by people they don't know still once you get to know them be your new best friend number six Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog if you live in Louisiana then there's one dog you're probably gonna see a lot more than any other and that's the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog as leopard like as dogs can get this charmer is a faithful family companion that steals the hearts of all who see it the dog breed is of Choctaw origin and its name means sacred lake it's also the only dog breeds that is thought to have originated in Louisiana but aside from its family tree this dog has plenty to offer the average pet owner it was named the official state dog of the state in 1979 and has a beautifully striking appearance seriously you won't find all too many dogs that look like this one it's also bred to work in forests and swamplands and is medium to large with a short coat however if you've never owned a dog before the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog is not for you they need a firm owner and someone who can be the boss they also need a lot of stimulation and exercise to keep them out of trouble number five Bedlington Terrier this cute little cotton bud might be rare but that doesn't mean it's not desirable for anyone who wants a faithful and fluffy companion the Bedlington Terrier is named after an English mining Shire where it was bred and has plenty of desirable traits it has a curly coat tasseled ears fleecy head and an arched back it also appears to have whipp'd sighthound in its family tree basically this dog is as unique as they come they move with a light spring in their step and if they catch a whiff of a small critter they're off like a bolt of lightning and you'd hope so fur they were originally bred for killing vermin and their hunting instinct still they're just as happy to be by your side as they are frolicking out in a field they will be your couch companion housemate an athlete end and alert watchdog it's still worth remembering that the Bedlington Terrier is a terrier though if you own this breed you're not gonna want to own anything smaller than it such as rodents or cats number 4 English Foxhound once upon a time you would have purchased or bred an English Foxhound to pursue foxes in the countryside well duh a fox sound is in their name their stamina long legs and deep chest made them perfect for the hunt not to mention their love for hunting in packs and insane sense of smell but today the English Foxhound is not that common and not used for fox hunting instead they are family companions sometimes you even see them as show dogs in Fox hound performance trials these scent driven sociable dog owes are driven by instinct and are very much hardwired for the thrill of the chase so if you're looking for a sofa snuggle buddy you won't find one in the English Foxhound instead you'll find a dog that doesn't care for much other than chasing running and doing their own thing even training is out of the question if they don't feel like it this breed is not one for first-time pet owners and it's certainly not one for anyone who happens to have cats rats rabbits or any other furry little critter that you're quite fond of number three Norwegian lunda hoot on the islands off Norway's west coast puffins used to be one of the only sources of food for the farmers who lived there but puffins which also go by the name of sea parrots are not the easiest critters to catch instead you needed to rely on man best friend but not just any dog would do farmers needed the Norwegian Lunda who the Norwegian lunda who was specifically bred for the purpose of puffins hunting so much so that the word puffin is literally in their name Lunda is the Norwegian word for puffins they are a Spitz type dog with a curved tail double coat and triangular ears but there are also plenty of unique traits about this dog to each foot has six toes and an extra paw pad as well they are also known for their elastic neck which can remind you of the famous scene in The Exorcist but less terrifying of course the dog can crane its head so far back that it touches its spine its ears also folds shut and its forelegs can extend to the side of its body thanks to its flexible shoulders puffins are now protected so this dogs job is redundant still they make for a fun and energetic dog to have on your farm number two otter hound dog utter hounds are rare dogs that were bred for hunting otters back in the 18th century there's even mention of them as early as the Year 1100 as otters put fish stocks at risk they were the answer to a growing problem today these boisterous and lovable dogs are as rare as they come there are only about 350 in the United States and Canada and fewer than 1,000 in the entire world but who wouldn't want an otter hound as their faithful companion they have a beautiful personality a rough double coat and webbed feet their aptitude for swimming makes them perfect friends for the water lovers in your family they also have an amazing sense of smell and can follow underwater trails for crazy distances once they reached an odd it took no effort at all to take down a razor Claude feisty and Sharptooth daughter before it knew what it hit it today they're more of a family dog but they also like to keep their independence they'll make you smile with their crazy antics but they're just as happy to be off doing their own thing number one finnish spitz the finnish spitz is a very special dog and that's no understatement it has been the national dog of Finland since around 1979 and it's even mentioned in many Finnish patriotic songs it's clear that the Finnish people are quite passionate about this dog but why well firstly it's quite rare there have only been around 2,000 registered annually and even less in the early 1900s it's also one of the healthiest dog breeds with a lifespan averaging up to 15 years if you wanted a dog that would remain your faithful companion for as long as possible then the finnish spitz would be it the foxy faced flame-coloured dog is a hunting dog that has no fear it uses a unique type of tracking and loves to bark but even their bark is something special for this dog's vocal range makes it a pleasure to listen to rather than an annoyance there are also alert dogs that are a bit sassy
