Top US Dog Breeds

5/17/2018

In March of this year, the American Kennel Club announced its annual Most Popular Dog Breeds list. Present at the announcement were furry representatives from each of the Top 5 breeds.
This year the Labrador retriever was once again named the country’s most popular breed. Labs are comfortable with the title since they have won it for 27 consecutive years. But these pooches might not be top dog forever.
The French bulldog is closing in fast. The stout breed, ranked no. 1 in popularity in both New York City and Los Angeles, made big moves in the national ranking, jumping up two spots to the no. 4 slot.

This jump pushed the Beagle out of the Top 5 list; it’s the first time the floppy-eared dog has missed the list since 1998.

The top rankings for the most popular dog breeds of 2017 stand as:
  1. Labrador Retriever
  2. German Shepherd
  3. Golden Retriever
  4. French Bulldog
  5. Bulldog

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Last year Antony Todd Inc., collaborated with Rory Mackay in presenting a collection of his "private pets". Rory's work on behalf of his private clients portrayed his ability to capture an extraordinary likeness of each of the owners pets. The paintings are vibrant, with bold colors, small and large in scale, and capture the adorable characteristics of each subject. Rory's own electric enthusiasm shines through in every painting.We look forward to another exhibition of his work and in the meantime wish him great success."
- Antony Todd, Designer


"
Rory always provides superior service, is a delight to work with, is very professional, and is an extremely talented artist. Highly recommend his work."
- 
Lara A. Björk, Founder, Von Rudebeck Art Advisory

"Rory's dog portraits do a remarkable job of capturing the "soul" and special personality of a beloved pet. Our dear lab, Safina, may have departed this life for several years now, but I look at Rory's portrait and smile at her memories. He caught her sloth-like expression perfectly. Plus, Rory is a joy to work with. PS. No hyperbole here!" 
​
- Kirk Henckels, Vice Chairman, Stribling & Associates
