Best in show: The top 10 breeds
Popularity contests aren’t just in high school anymore. With all the cute contenders out there, you’ve got to narrow down your search when it comes to picking the perfect pet. The American Kennel Club, a not-for-profit organization which maintains the largest registry of purebred dogs in the world, helps you sort out the 157 dog breeds by announcing the Top 10 Most Popular Dogs in America.

Who will paw their way to #1? Will it be the happy-go-lucky Beagle, which has consistently been included in the Top 10 list since 1915? The reliable and trustworthy Labrador Retriever? Or maybe the portable and energetic Yorkshire Terrier? Find out which pup made it through the ruff competition to be crowned the American Kennel Club’s most wanted pet.


According to the slide show countdown:




#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
