Most Popular Breeds by City — Find out the Top Dog in Places Around the US

As the American Kennel Club announced, the Labrador Retriever was the most popular dog breed in the United States in 2017 — for the 27^th year in a row, no less! (It usurped the Cocker Spaniel in 1991, and hasn’t let go of the No. 1 spot since.) But when looking at the most popular dog breeds in specific cities across the country, the Lab doesn’t always reign supreme.

The French Bulldog, for example — who edged out the Beagle this year to make the Top 5 —  ranks No. 1 in L.A., NYC, San Francisco, and West Palm Beach, and is a favorite among Chicagoans as well. Scroll down to see the most popular breeds in 14 major U.S. cities.
