Every January, the American Kennel Club publicly releases the previous
year's breed registration statistics. For your viewing pleasure, here
are the AKC's Top Ten Breeds of 2008.
Labrador Retrievers hold the top spot on this list for the 18th
consecutive year! The Lab has been considered one of the most popular
breeds in the world for some time now. Plus, a very large percentage of
shelter dogs are at least Lab mixes, if not purebred Lab.
If you know Labradors, then you know that these are happy, friendly
dogs with sweet, loving personalities. They are also masters of
retrieval - just try to keep a Lab from chasing a tennis ball! With a
strong history as water dogs and hunter's helpers, Labs are also great
competitors in most of today's dog sports. Plus, their intelligence and
loyalty make them perfect assistance dogs.
