10 Most Popular Breeds in USA

Here is a list of the 10 most popular Breeds of dog in the USA in 2007...according to the AKC.

• 10 bulldog

• 9 shih tzu

• 8 poodle

• 7 dachshund

• 6 boxer

• 5 beagle

• 4 golden retriever

• 3 german shepherd

• 2 yorkshire terrier

• 1 labrador retriever

In my area I see a lot of my favorite breed...Mini Schnauzers! But perhaps it's just that I'm looking for them. I almost never see a beagle or bulldog.

My personal list spot list:

• 1 Labs / Retrievers
• 2 Mini Schnauzers
• 3 Australian Shepherds (or what's that other herding dog?)
  
• 4 Shih Tzu
• 5 Cairn Terriers
• 6 Boxers
• 7 Jack Russell Terriers
• 8 Poodles (small ones)
  
• 9 Chihuahua
• 10 Cockapoo

How did Cairn Terriers reach the middle of my list? My neighbor has 3, plus she is involved in Cairn Terrier rescue and has fosters. So I see plenty of Cairns right over my fence. But I also run into quite a few around here when I'm out.

What do you see around your area?
