I had a Lakeland Terrier once. To me, a guy who's childhood dog was a beagle, this was exotic. That's nothing compared to VetStreet.com's list of the 15 rarest dog breeds in the United States. I bet you haven't heard of half of these. Or maybe your dog is on this list, from 15th most rare to the number 1 rarest breed of all.

15: Curly-Coated Retriever
14: Canaan Dog
13: Scottish Deerhound
12: Norwegian Buhund
11: Glen of Imaal Terrier
10: Dandie Dinmont Terrier
9: Pyrenean Shepherd
8: Finnish Spitz
7: Finnish Lapphund
6: Otterhound
5: Harrier
4: Cesky Terrier
3: Norwegian Lundehund
2: American Foxhound
