Is the Dutch Smoushond a rare breed of dog?

The Dutch Smoushond is not a recognized breed. It's more accurately described as a type of dog rather than a breed.

The term "Smoushond" is a Dutch word roughly translating to "smushed dog," and it refers to a type of dog with a short, squashed-looking face and thick, wiry coat.

However, there's no official breed standard for the Smoushond. This means there is no set of specific physical characteristics or personality traits that define it. Many dogs with similar features, like the Brussels Griffon and the Affenpinscher, are considered to be types of Smoushond.

So, while you might find dogs referred to as Smoushond, it's not a formally recognized breed, and it's more of a general descriptor for dogs with certain physical traits.
