What is the Most Popular Breed of Dog in America? The Answer Surprised Me!

Every year, the American Kennel Club ranks the most popular breeds of dogs in the U.S.

This year’s most popular breed, for the 23rd year in a row, is the Labrador retriever. It’s the longest winning streak of any breed since the organization began in 1884.

German shepherds, golden retrievers, beagles and bulldogs round out the top-five.
But the most popular dog of all? The mixed-breed…what we usually call a “mutt.” 53% of all dogs in America are mixed breed.
