Trivia: What is the most popular dog breed in the U.S.?
Golden retriever
German shepherd
French bulldog
Dachshund
The correct answer is French bulldog
So why is this answer correct? : The American Kennel Club revealed a surprising update in 2022. For the first time in 31 years, the Labrador retriever wasn’t the most popular dog in the United States — the French bulldog took the crown instead. Frenchies have seen a huge uptick in popularity in the last decade. In 2012, they were the 14th most popular breed in the country, but by 2021, they rose to second. Labrador retrievers are still holding steady in second place, followed by golden retrievers, German shepherds, and poodles.
