Labrador Retriever Sets Popularity Record
The lovable Labrador Retriever was America's most popular dog breed again last year, for the 23 rd consecutive year.
That breaks the 22-year streak once held by the Poodle, making it the longest any breed has held the top spot since the American Kennel Club was founded in 1884.
The rest of the top 10 includes the familiar favorites: German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Beagle, Bulldog, Yorkshire Terrier, Boxer, Poodle, Rottweiler and Dachshund. But the French Bulldog made headlines by quickly moving up in the ranks, from the 58 th spot on the list in 2002 to the 11 th place this year. - Read it at USA Today
