No - Rare breeds are not a group of dogs that are not considered purebred.

Rare breeds are just that. Rare. With a very limited gene pool.

Leonbergers are eligible to be registered as a rare breed with AKC and can be shown in the Rare Breed group. Usually, this means that the breed IS an established breed but that it doesn't have the stud book to be included in "regular" groups. With time, I am sure that the Leonberger will find it's way into the Working Group with AKC.
