Watch Out, Labradors. This Dog Breed Could Soon Become Most Popular In USA

Labradors were America's most popular pure breds in 2020 for the 30th consecutive year

French bulldogs are on track to end labrador retrievers' three-decade reign as top dog in the United States, the American Kennel Club said Tuesday. The squat, flat-faced pooches commonly called "Frenchies" jumped from fourth to second place in the club's most popular dog rankings last year. The cute canines with their bat-like ears bumped German shepherds from second -- a position they had held since 2009 -- to third spot. Frenchies also overtook golden retrievers. Labradors were America's most popular pure breds in 2020 for the 30th consecutive year, based on registrations.
