French bulldogs have rocketed up the list of most popular dog breed in America and some wonder if Frenchies will take the top spot in the coming years.
French bulldogs came in second only to Labrador retrievers, which have been the leaders for 30 straight years.
The American Kennel Club’s latest rankings reflect the relative numbers of purebreds, mainly puppies, that were added last year to the oldest U.S. dog registry.
More than 98,300 Labs joined the AKC’s registry last year, compared to about 66,500 French bulldogs.
THE TOP 10:
- Labrador retrievers
- French bulldogs
- German shepherds
- Golden retrievers
- Bulldogs
- Poodles
- Beagles
- Rottweilers
- German shorthaired pointers
- Dachshunds (made the top 10 for the first time since 2013)
