    5 Dog Breeds that Are Sadly Losing Popularity

    By Dr. Marty Becker

    I see a lot of Chihuahuas over the exam room table these days, along with Labradoodles, Pit Bulls, Bulldogs and the eternally popular Labrador Retriever. I love them all, but I have to admit I do miss seeing some of the dogs who used to be in my waiting room, pets I rarely see now that they've lost the cache they once enjoyed.

      I suspect that as hunting has become less common as a sport, the breeds so closely associated with the pursuit have fallen out favor. And that's unfortunate, because the Brittany is a dog that can do more than just hunt. The Brittany's compact size makes him a good match for an active family, and he's a natural at modern-day canine sporting events such as agility.
