There are several rare breeds of dogs that can still be found through out the world that are not accepted by any of the Kennel Clubs. the reason for this is that they are found in only one area or specific location. These dogs would be purebred lines were they acknowledged and registered as such.
Many of these lines are complet e ly separate from other dog breeds and that inhibits cross breeding. Often these breeds are shown at Kennel Club events in an attempt to keep the breed from becoming extinct and to promote the acceptance by the Kennel Club.
One such breed is the Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog. This dog was originally bred by only one breeder and is only found in the southern portion of the United States. Originally bred to be a plantation dog, they closely resemble the traditional bulldog, except their ears and tails are longer,they have a short, wide muzzle. They have a stocky, thick body being broader across the chest, are extremely strong and weigh 60-90 pounds when full grown. Their short dense fur comes in a variety of colors from solids to multi. They are excellent guard dogs and watch dogs even though they are not a normally agressive breed.
A Treeing Walking Coonhound is a hunter that has the ability to track, tree and alert hunters. Originally bred in the United States from English Foxhound and cross bred with other hounds to produce their large size. The result is a shorter coat and is usually white with black and brown markings with typical hound ears, face and body type.
The Berg Masco is bred in the Alpine Mountain area, and is a highly intelligent, gentle herder and is exceptional with children of all ages and sizes. This dog has long, flocked ringlet type fur requiring little care and shedding is minimal.
An Akbash Dog is also a flock guardian and herder that comes to us from Turkey. This magnificent animal is calm and intelligent and is headed for extinction. The dog is always white with a wide, noble head. A large dog, weinghing in at approximately 120 pounds, the male is noticably larger than the female.
Then we have the Dogue De Bordeaux. A large mastiff breed from France, this dog has been used in the breeding of several of the Europenan Mastiffs. They are devoted and protective, wonderful with children and incredibly adaptable to small living spaces.
The New Guinea Singing Dog was once thought to be extinct. It was re-discovered in the New Guinea wildlands in the 1950's. This is an extremely rare and agressive dog that will fight over territory and therefore is best as a single pet. This is a highly independent dog, very loyal and loving and playful with humans. Its name comes from the youling cries it makes at sunrise and sunset.
