Unusual dog breeds you've seen recently.

[Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride]

We have a Wire Haired Fox Terrier, so im used to "you dont see many of them, my gran had one, I had one in wheels", but today we saw a Sealyham- iv seen them in books and in Crufts but never in the flesh. We also regularly see a pair of Pharoah Hounds(gorgeous but mental) who blush when they get excited. Again never seen one in real life before they arrived.
Whats the most unusual/most uncommon dog you've seen out and about?

A bloke near us has 7 rough collies, he always walks them together. They're so well behaved

My neighbour fosters large breed dogs, they recently had a Leonberger, it was stunning and would just plod the dog was elderly and stayed with the neighbours till it was "time to go". I had only seen them on Crufts,

Not so much an unknown but my sister has a Saint Bernard. Whenever she is out she gets stopped a lot as they’re really not the type of dog you see everyday

We also have friends with a Northern Inuit but I think most people assume it’s a husky cross of some sort.

I've got a Red Setter cross and regal is just the perfect word to describe him 😂

I see these breeds near me most weeks - a Bedlington, a Belgian sheepdog which always looks like it’s walking on tiptoes, an Airedale, a couple of Corgis and a Bassett Hound.

Nice to see something other than working cockers and cockerpoos!

One of my dogs best doggy pals is a giant schnauzer. Shes gorgeous and very playful and energetic but she’s very naughty. She does not listen to her poor owner at all. I believe they are known for being ‘independent’ and she
sure is.

I have a red setter ( she is a proper princess) and an English setter who is normally called a spaniel. I am always impressed when people
recognise him as a setter ( it’s usually because they had one growing up). English setters are a KC vulnerable native breed, he is large but as soft as they come! Will slobber you to death or bowL you over with an enthusiastic cuddle.

I regularly see a Pyrranean Mountain Dog. It's absolutely huge, makes my Bernese Mountain dog look tiny in comparison. A lot of people ask me if mine is a Pyrranean - considering how rare they are, it seems to be a popular breed.

I have met a couple of Bernadoodles - look like bernese gone wrong and very high energy.

Someone local to me has a Lagotto Romagnolo, gorgeous dog! The breed was on my wish list but I got a border terrier instead!
She was quite surprised when I asked her if it was a lagotto, most people think the dog is an ubiquitous Poo cross.

We had a Dutch Smoushond, adopted in France when PIL lived there. He was the best dog ever, very intelligent.

That's funny because where I live there are lots of American Akitas. I have one too! I rarely come across Japanese ones, although I did meet a couple of absolutely stunning ones at the local country park! They were brindle and so majestic! Honestly, was a tad jealous 😆.

I have a Brittany (Breton) Spaniel - also a Brittany mix - both rescues. Amazing nature and I'd definately have another - we didn't intentionally go for the breed - just sort of happened :)

Love hearing all these breeds. We meet all sorts on our walks. A Bassett. Red setters. A Gordon Setter. Dalmatian. Whippets. Beagles. Brussels Griffons.

Red and white setter
Two gorgeous Clumber spaniels
Gordon setter
German wire-haired pointer
Welsh springer spaniel

Irish Terrier..they are fab..Not many around. We have 2!

Loving all the Leo spotting 😄 I can’t do a single walk without being stopped especially with more than one.

Theres a borzoi near me that is beautiful! I love seeing anything that’s a little bit different.

Where I worked, red setters (well we had a trio 2 x red and 1 x black) and dalmatians!!! We had 2 come regularly, but ive never seen any in real life

Irish Wolfhound not far from us...lovely dog

Saw a fox like dog called a Basenji on holiday in the Isle of Wight.

We tend to see rather a lot of beagles by us too. We have one so spot them with some interest. They are more of the working beagle sort than the American beagle which I am not so keen on.

I often walk my friends Portuguese Water dog with my Goldie and most people assume he’s a big Cockapoo.
But the most unusual dog I’ve met recently is a Russian Terrier. Absolutely gorgeous dog and she very much wanted to play with my Goldie, she was only young but she dwarfed him!

Oh that's just brought back a lovely childhood memory! My great aunty (died many years ago) had a Tibetan spaniel 🥰

It’s half fricking wolf!

We have a flat-coated retriever - only very occasionally see others around and people often ask what he is. He is handsome snd ridiculous.

I meet a Welsh terrier in the park near me. Love him.

I dog-sit a Dutch Stabyhoun and according to Google: The Stabyhoun, or Stabijhoun or Stabij, is one of the rarest dog breeds in the world. She is a lovely dog ..very placid and calm and very lazy so gets on well with my equally lazy lurcher!
