The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported (16 January 2007) that once again America’s most popular dog breed hails from Canada’s most Eastern province — Newfoundland.
American Kennel Club officials confirmed in New York City on Monday that the Labrador retriever was the most popular purebred in 2006, a title it has maintained the past 16 years. The retriever represented about 124,000 registrations, or 14 per cent of the club’s total last year.
Ten most popular breeds in the USA
1. Labrador Retriever
2. Yorkshire Terrier
3. German Shepherd Dog
4. Golden Retriever
5. Beagle
6. Dachshund
7. Boxer
8. Poodle
9. Shih Tzu
10. Miniature Schnauzer
Of course, dachshunds make it onto the list! At number 6 overall, with regional variations in cities internationally known such as New York, New York, in which us snazzy saucissons make it to the Top Five.
But a big SuperWoof to all Dogs, whether they’re on the Top Ten or not!
