5 Most Popular Dog Breeds in the U.S.

The American Kennel Club just released its list of the most popular dog breeds in the country. And the top of the list will come as a shock to no one.

For the 25th year in a row, the most popular breed is Labrador retriever.

The rest of the top five are dogs that are rarely out of the top five: German shepherds, golden retrievers, bulldogs, and beagles.

The list ranks 184 breeds all total. Things toward the bottom of the list get a little more obscure.

The five least popular breeds are: English foxhounds, harriers, Norwegian lungehunds, American foxhounds, and otterhounds.

AKC compiled the list according to 2015 registration stats. To see the complete list, click here.
