The American Kennel Club has released its annual list of the most popular dog breeds in America (slide show).

The most popular dogs in America

[MissTed]

We have Lhasa Apso’s (cousins of shih tzus I think) and I love how they don’t shed. My husband & daughter both have asthma so they’re perfect for us. :)

[ConorMacNessa]

We're very happy with our Silky Terrier (hybrid of Yorkie and Australian Terrier)



Sir Winston S. Churchill

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[Emperor Palpatine]

Tojo will be mad that Akitas aren’t #1

[hawgwalker]

my kids:

[mrs. a]

Go Dachsies!!!

[DeFault User]

Two dogs long and half a dog high...

[Maine Mariner]

Well Golden’s should have placed second, tied with labs.

[Joe 6-pack]

I guess you can't be popular if you're elite :-)

[gruffwolf]

She may not come from a “popular” breed but I wouldn’t trade my Rhodesian Ridgeback for any other dog in the world.

[freekitty]

Deb, these are brother and sister. Angus belongs to a friend of mine.

[SZonian]

What? No Corgi mixed with ? [mutt]

Useless list. ;^)

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah they are good dogs. We also have a Maltese/Pomeranian mix named Nemo..guess people are not into Maltese doggies..Our shih tzu sheds like crazy, you see his fur all over the place. Time for him to go get a grooming but we prolong it as long as possible since here they have a placed called Sparky’s which charges 120 bucks for 2 dogs..don’t know if that is the going rate but its pretty expensive

[Sarah Barracuda]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww what a cutie pie!!

[freekitty]

My friend has labs and English Mastiffs.

[Hodar]

Enjoy them, my FRiend. Truer and more loyal companions you will not find on this side.

If they are young enough to let you take a doggie brush and brush their teeth - please do it. That way they will get used to it, and it will just be a ritual you do as they get older. If you wait too long, they will fight it and you will have to take them to the vet to have their teeth cleaned.

It wasn’t until the end of my best friend’s life that we realized how poor his teeth had gotten. It may have contributed to his health problems - and I have regretted not addressing this every day for the past year.

I dearly miss my little buddy.

[onona]

Was there ever any doubt ?

[antiRepublicrat]

I have to admit labs are the best, but I do love the dackels.

Who put a rat at #3? I thought this was about dogs.

[kaylar]

They dropped from sixth to eighth place. :-( And look at this abomination of an article from Germany.

[and so?]

I'm not telling my Redbone Coonhound she's not on the list...she might try to tree the folks who conducted this poll just to put them in a more receptive mood for next year.

(No, I don't run her, she's a companion dog)

I suppose that Goldens’ pre-eminence have been diluted by the current poularity of GoldenPoos and GoldenDoodles. But who cares about shedding? Just decorate your house and choose your upholstery and clothes to match the dog!
