If you are not one of those who would just do with any dog breed and are definitely not willing to get the same dog breed as every second person down the block has, then you might want to consider some of the rarest and most exotic dog breeds that we would be discussing subsequently in this write-up.
Rare breeds are a result of passionate breeders, who have the knowledge of cross-breading and know what they are up to. If you are the wild-kinds, there is nothing more exotic than the African wild dog. The African wild dog is an endangered species of wild dogs. And it could take a lot of paper-work before you can own one. After you are done with the paper work, you would have to ensure that proper respect is given to this animal, as it is not hesitant to show its wild side. Infact, the African wild dog is not one of those fiery looking dogs which are easily domestic-able. It is a hunting dog, and needs an open space to live in. it can reach speeds of up to 65 km/hr, and should only be brought home if you are confident that you can train it.
weigh up to 90 points, with its height reaching up to the levels of 26 inches to the withers. They have high age-expectancy, roughly about 12-15 years and are pretty intelligent at handling the jobs of guarding livestock and retrieval. They can be suspicious towards strangers, and therefore, you should keep and eye on them when you have guests at home. A better thing to do in such a scenario is to introduce strangers to them, so that they become friendly and greet them warmly.
Another exotic dog is the American allaunt. They are huge dogs, with a face that give a deep, penetrating look, having small, cropped ears and fierce eyes, the dogs are pretty scary at the first look. Because they are so rare, a little is known about their behavior, but, various interviews with owners and co-owners reveal that the allaunt is a very warm breed of dogs. Most owners have remarked that these are pretty calm dogs and get along well with children, which make them great family dogs in our opinion. As a word of caution though, they are certainly not those types of dogs which enjoy their dog beds installed right next to a human's bed. They demand privacy, and should be given full respect, else they can have a pretty willful attitude.
Finally, the American hairless terrier has made it to our list of the most exotic dog breeds in the world. Small, sharp, intelligent, fast and shrewd are some of the adjectives you would like to associate with an American hairless terrier, which was incidentally born out of a cross breeding of a rat terrier in the late 1980s.Another one of those exotic dog breeds is the Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog. It is a more docile animal than the African wild dogs, and is very rare.
