RAREBREED

Rare breed

Rare breed is any breed of dog that is small in number. Since dogs have greater genetic variability than other domesticated animals the number of possible breeds is vast. New breeds are constantly being created, with only a few "rare" puppies available at first, and even long-established breeds may have small populations.
