Rare Breed : Olde English Bulldogge

If you think that the AKC keeps record of all the dogs breeds, you are wrong. Although the organization gives the public the guidelines for many breeds we know of, it doesn't include ALL the breeds, and it is a shame since many wonderful breeds are out there.

The American Rare Breed Association (ARBA.org) is the place to go if you are looking for information about a rare breed.

According to the ARBA, a rare breed is.."is a dog that there are very few of. While most of our breeds are recognized around the world by the Federation Cynologique Internationale and other Registries, they are not recognized by the United States of America's largest Registry, the American Kennel Club."

Without looking far from home, you already have seen or heard about a rare breed.
