Dog Breed Popularity

Adopting any animal into your family is a big decision; adopting a dog is one of the biggest. Unlike animals like goldfish, dogs require constant love and attention. Choosing to adopt a pet is a big decision. It requires responsibility, patience, money, and work. Adopting a dog is no different, and can be even more tiresome than other types of pets. The kind of dog that one chooses to adopt is important; it is essential to pick a dog that suits you, your friends and family, and house/yard. Researching dog breeds before adopting is an important step in the process, and should not be overlooked. It is crucial to pick a breed with the qualities that you desire. While this in no way guarantees you the “perfect” dog, certain breeds commonly have certain characteristics. The following is a list of some of the most common dog breeds. Next to each dog is a popularity rank: a lower popularity rank indicates a dog is very popular. For example, a popularity of “1” indicates that the breed is more commonly-owned than any other.
