2012 Most Popular Breeds

The American Kennel Club recently announced their annual list of the most popular dog breeds in America.  The AKC’s 2012 most popular dog breeds list is very similar to the 2011 and 2010 most popular breeds list, but with a few changes.

The Beagle and Golden Retriever have both gained ground on the Yorkshire Terrier, knocking the terrier to the 5th spot and the Poodle and Dachshund switched spots.  But with all of the shake ups, once again, the Labrador Retriever tops the list for the 21st consecutive year!

Take a look at the AKC’s 2012 publishing of the most popular dog breeds.
