We’ve celebrated the most popular dog breeds of 2025… now it’s time to shine a spotlight on the rarest. ✨🐾

You may have spotted #10, the Canaan Dog, on Hulu’s hit series Love Story. JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy had a Canaan Dog named Friday. We were happy to see the show got the breed right!

Want to learn more about all these rare and remarkable dogs? Drop down to the comments.
