Norwegian Lundehund

This strange-looking, agile, and ancient breed has a small and muscular body that was once used to catch puffins on the island of Vaeroy by crawling into small holes and bringing the birds out. Nowadays, the Norweigan Lundehund makes a great pet. However, aside from being one of the ten rarest dog breeds in the world, they’re unusual in their own right. Aside from ears that fold shut, incredibly flexible shoulders and six toes on each foot, they can snap their head back to their spine. This made it easy for them to get into those small crevices. As for demeanor, the Lunderhunds are known to be very sensitive, so they’re typically recommended for experienced owners.

Peruvian Inca Orchid

It’s easy to recognize a Peruvian Inca Orchid when you see one. Considering that they’re mostly hairless, they have a cute little mohawk on their foreheads. The rare breed is originally from Peru and comes in three sizes – toy, small, and medium. They date back to 750 AD. In fact, some pottery pieces even show them in human sweaters, so it looks like even ancient humans wanted to help keep these pups warm.
