The AKC released their annual list of most popular dog breeds today. The list for 2011 has only changed a little from the 2010 Most Popular Dog Breeds list they published last year. The list changed so little that the exact same ten breeds are on the list, only a few spots were shuffled around. Take a look at the list, arr you surprised by the dogs on the list, do you feel that your favorite breed has been overlooked?
10. Shih Tzu
9. Poodle
8. Dachshund
7. Boxer
6. Bulldog
5. Golden Retriever
4. Beagle
3. Yorkshire Terrier
2. German Shepherd
1. Labrador Retriever

It’s quite nice to see Bulldogs on this list. I think Frenchies are overlooked, as a whole. Those little bat-ears are just so appealing to me. I love their stubborn, “I’m your boss!” attitude.
Additionally, it’s kind of sad not see the Giant Schnauzer or Great Dane on this list. I mean, have you seen these dogs as puppies?!
awww ive got a german shep but also a westie who i really love westies RULE xxx i dont mind tho
I am happy that the Labrador Retriever are the popular dogs. And one of the little proof is, here in the Philippines, even poor people knows ONLY the dog breed named Labrador and nothing else..
