Answer 2

Check here: http://www.arba.org/ Or, at www.akc.org (if you are talking rare recognized breeds) & check the registration rankings (which tells how many dogs of each breed were registered per year). I know Dandie Dinmont Terriers & Sealyham Terriers are always in the bottom 25 - knew someone who raised them!
