11. Puli
You might mistake this small dog for an ordinary wet mop, and its fur, for dreadlocks; but this cute little guy is a skilled cattle herder. The breed has been herding sheep in Hungary for over 1000 years! But there is much debate as to where they actually came from, with some believing they came from central Asia, with the Magyar invaders from Siberia and India.
10: Fila Brasileiro
Also called the Brazilian Mastiff, the Fila Brasileiro is a dog breed indigenous to Brazil. It’s known for its hatred of strangers, and aggressive tendencies, but it’s very loyal and protective of its owner which is why they are excellent guard dogs. They will protect their owner, family members and family pets once they understand they are part of its pack.
9: Azawakh
Don’t let the slender appearance of the Azawakh fool you. It might be gentle and affectionate, but it’s also an energetic, strong guardian dog. The breed comes from the Azawagh Valley in West Africa, where it was traditionally kept by the nomadic Tuareg people, who inhabit the vast Sahara region. It belongs to the sighthound family, which consists of canine sprinters that depend on their blazing pace to hunt their prey.
8: Otterhound
The Otterhound is considered one of the most endangered dog breeds in the world today. There are only about 1000 of them worldwide. These dogs were bred in Britain as far back as the 1100’s. They originally hunted in packs and as their name suggests, they were bred specifically to hunt otters which at the time, were a menace.
7: Mudi

5: Lagotto Romagnolo
The lagotto romagnolo dates back to the 1400’s in Italy and was bred as a water retriever for the marshes of Romagna. It was also known as a gundog and their sense of smell makes them very helpful in looking for truffles, the most expensive food in the world!! They are often shown in many paintings from the Renaissance era and while there might not be many around the world, they are near and dear to Italy!
4: Swedish Vallhund
The Swedish Vallhund is a small and long herding dog that is energetic and playful, like its Corgi cousins. Historians believe that they were bred 1200 years ago to herd livestock and move them over long distances. These little Viking dogs are tough and what it lacks in size, it makes up for in self-confidence and courage.
3: Thai Ridgeback
The Thai Ridgeback is a muscular dog known for being tough and energetic. It’s originally from Thailand, where it was bred as a hunting dog that could take out dangerous prey such as wild boar and cobras. Thai Ridgebacks also escorted carts and has been used for home security and as guard dogs for many years. The breed has remained unchanged for hundreds of years due to their geographic isolation.
2: Caucasian Shepherd Dog
Also called the ‘Russian Bear Dog,’ the Caucasian shepherd dog is a powerful canine that is giant!! It descended from the ancient Caucasian Mountain dog, a lineage that is believed to go back 2,500 years! Males are larger and more powerfully built than females. A male can weigh as much as 200 pounds (90kg), and stand at 70 cm!
1: Norwegian Lundehund
Also called the Puffin Dog, this ancient breed was developed to hunt puffins, which are small seabirds that obtain their food by diving for fish in the ocean. From the Viking Age to modern times, puffins have been sought for their meat, feathers, and eggs. But puffin hunting is difficult because the birds build nests on small shelves edged on steep coastal cliffs, and in rock crevices.
