Super Rare Dog Breeds That You Might Never Have Heard of Have Been Photographed All Around The World

by Elzaan Van der merwe

Dog people are constantly on the lookout for new dogs that they can adopt and they are most likely to pick up a stray and take them home. Some boyfriends know that when their girlfriends have money there is nothing that is stopping them from bringing a new doggie home.

I mean we have seen this all over the internet with the different funny memes that people have created. But there are still wonderful and interesting dog breeds that are out there that most people don't even know about.

We call them rare dog breeds that are not available or don't even exist in some parts of the world. I'm not saying go out and find them and bring them home, even though some of you might just do that and I am on top of that list of people.

But for now, we just want you to be aware of these magical creatures that we hold so dear to our hearts!

*Throwback* On our evening walk in Hokitika we went to the Hokitika Gorge. Have you ever seen such a beautiful blue river?!! It's so unreal...unbelievable! It was one of our favourite locations. There were barely some people there...which is understandable, when we arrived we made the mistake and left the door from our car open for a few minutes, the car was absolutely full with sandflies within this short moment! Luckily we always had an insect repellent in the car! (The 2 most important things when you travel around NZ are insect rebelled and sunscreen! Always carry those with you! 😅) We had to keep moving all the time otherwise we would have been full with sandfly bites! We were so exhausted after the easy walk as we had to do some slick ninja moves to get rid if the sandflies. . . . . . . 🔹7.5 months🔹Hokitika Gorge, NZ
