#7 Pharaoh Hound ($7,500) 

The Malta-born Pharaoh Hound has a reputation for “blushing” when joyful or enthusiastic. Blood going up to their ears and nose causes this peculiar natural occurrence and creates the flushing effect. They will shake their entire body, jump around, and open their mouths so wide that you could do a dental inspection when they are incredibly happy (excited over a nice meal or just happy to see you).

It is one of those uncommon dog breeds you probably weren’t aware of, despite the fact that it is the national dog of Malta and has remarkable similarities to the dog god Anubis from the Egyptian civilization. Pharaoh hounds are kind, affectionate, and dedicated snugglers, according to the people who actually own them as pets.
