In 2017, the Labrador Retriever was once again recognized as the most popular breed of dog in the United States. According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), which tracks canine registrations over the course of the year, the Labrador has ranked as the No. 1 dog in the country for 27 consecutive years. America’s taste in canines has remained relatively static in recent times, with Labs, German shepherds, and golden retrievers reprising their places for the 2016 top three and the German Shorthaired Pointer representing the only newcomer to the 2017 top 10, at No. 10.
Meanwhile, French bulldog continues its rise in popularity among American dog owners, reaching the No. 4 position for the breed’s first ever top five ranking. Other breeds in the top 10 included the English bulldog at No. 5 and the beagle at No. 6.
