Labs Are Still America’s Favorite Dog . . . But Another Breed Is About to Pass It

Labrador retrievers were just named America’s favorite dog for the 30th year in a row.  But could this be their LAST year at the top?

 

The American Kennel Club does an annual study on the most popular breeds.  And FRENCH BULLDOGS are having a real moment right now.  Here are the ten most popular breeds in 2021 . . .

 

 

1.  Labrador retrievers.

 

2.  French bulldogs.  Up from fourth place last year.

 

3.  German shepherds.  Knocked out of the #2 spot for the first time since 2009.

 

4.  Golden retrievers.

 

5.  Bulldogs.

 

6.  Poodles.

 

7.  Beagles.

 

8.  Rottweilers.

 

9.  German shorthaired pointers.
