Top Dog Breeds 2013
2013 Top Ten AKC Breeds
We just received our latest copy of the AAHA publication, Trends. This monthly magazine highlights many trends within the veterinary industry. One article highlighted the latest report from the American Kennel Club: the top ten dog breeds for 2013.
Below is the top ten:
Labrador Retriever
German Shepherd
Golden Retriever
Beagle
Bulldog
Yorkshire Terrier
Boxer
Poodle
Rottweiler
Dachshund
This is interesting in that large breeds dogs not only dominate the list of top ten, but several large breeds saw large increases in registration numbers. These breeds, such as the Great Dane and Doberman Pinscher, may lie outside the top ten, but their popularity in increasing rapidly. Another breed that has shot up the list is the French Bulldog.
For the 23rd year in a row, the Labrador Retriever is Americas' top dog.
