Thanks to the waterproof undercoat and webbed feet, the otterhound feels comfortable both on land and in the water.

According to Dog Time, this breed is sometimes referred to as a steroid-powered beagle. She was bred to hunt hares and foxes in large flocks.

With six toes on each foot, as described by Dog Time, the Norwegian Lundenhund is renowned for its incredible agility.

According to the American Kennel Club, the Stabihun is a cross between a retriever and an English pointer.

Bred for hunting game in the mountains of Japan, the kai-ken is considered a rare species even in its native country. In addition to being renowned for its athleticism and strength, the breed has also earned a reputation for being remarkably loyal and reliable companion.
