7 Newest Dog Breeds

Glen of Imaal Terrier

A gentler alternative to most terriers, the Glen of Imaal terrier manages to be completely adorable despite its wiry coat and workmanlike background. Standing a mere 14 inches tall, this breed loves the outdoors and is the perfect addition to any farm.

Neapolitan Mastiff

Don't be startled by the Neapolitan mastiff and its formidable size, whereas the droopy-chinned purebred is tremendously sweet and loyal—at least to its owners. Once known as the "big dog of the little man," this massive canine descends from Roman dogs of war, though some have claimed the breed was brought to Greece around 300 B.C.

Plott

Fearless in their pursuits and resoundingly loyal, plott hounds are the best of two worlds. With a muscular frame and a smooth, dark coat, this breed is wildly popular among hunters searching for big game. It's also the official state dog of North Carolina.

Tibetan Mastiff

As recent as 2013, Tibetan Mastiffs were so sought after among China's elite that just one purebred could fetch up to $200,000. What those owners got in return was a noble guard dog with a thick coat and a somewhat aloof demeanor.

Beauceron

The beautiful Beauceron is an ideal watchdog known for its intelligence, athleticism, and herding instincts. Touting a pointed head and dark brown eyes, this canine is known to stay balanced and agile.

Swedish Vallhund

Touting a name that loosely translates to "herding dog," the Swedish vallhund was reportedly a mainstay on Viking ships more than a century ago.
