There’s a new top dog in the United States.
According to the American Kennel Club, the French bulldog has surpassed the Labrador retriever as America’s favorite dog breed.
It ends a 31-year reign at the top for the Labrador retriever, which hangs on to the #2 spot ahead of golden retrievers, German shepherds, and poodles.
More than 108,000 French bulldogs were registered last year, compared to 21,000 labs.
Some experts credit celebrities for the trend – some famous Frenchie owners include Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, Reese Witherspoon, Snoop Dogg, Hugh Jackman and more.
Why do you think French bulldogs are so popular? What’s your favorite dog breed?
