Although millions of canines are welcomed into this world each year, a small handful of breeds are seeing a decline in population and could soon become extinct.
Dog Breed: Curly Coated Retriever One of the oldest and tallest retriever breeds is the Curly Coated Retriever.
Its unusual curly coat serves as an excellent barrier against water for this breed of dog.
Spitz-Cocker Spaniel The English park Clumber, located in Nottingham, is the inspiration for the name of this breed.
Many Clumber Spaniels belonged to King George V (1865–1936), who had a soft spot for the breed.
Welsh Cardigan Corgi Of the two varieties of Corgis, the Pembroke and the Cardigan,
the former is said to have existed longer. Celtic cor ("dwarf") and gi ("dog") give the name.
