American Kennel Club Says Labrador Retriever Top Dog Again
Good Morning America By ABC NEWS 19 hours ago
American dog owners have spoken and once again they say they love Labrador retrievers.
The family-friendly breed of dogs is atop the American Kennel Club’s list of the Most Popular Dogs in the U.S., for the 24th consecutive year
“The Lab truly is America’s dog,” AKC Vice President Gina DiNardo said in a statement.
The AKC’s 2014 list, released today, shows German shepherds, golden retrievers, bulldogs and beagles following Labrador retrievers in the top five.
The beagle, which ranked number five on the AKC list, saw its breed get attention earlier this year when a Beagle named Miss P, from British Columbia, took home the top Best in Show honor at the Westminster Kennel Club Show earlier this month.
The AKC's most popular list is derived from the number of dogs within each breed registered with the club, an AKC spokeswoman told ABC News.
The bulldog moved up one spot, into number four, above the beagle, on this year's list. The AKC attributes the bulldogs' rise to the breeds’, “natural tendency to form strong bonds with kids, an easy-to-care-for coat and minimal exercise needs. “
A more specific type of Bulldog, the French bulldog, moved into the top 10, at number nine, this year for the first time in nearly 100 years, according to the AKC.
The Labrador retriever’s spot atop the Most Popular Breeds’ list continues its streak as the longest reign in AKC history.
Here is the full top 10 list of the 2014 Most Popular Dogs in the U.S.
1. Labrador Retriever
2. German Shepherd Dog
3. Golden Retriever
4. Bulldog
5. Beagle
6. Yorkshire Terrier
7. Poodle
8. Boxer
9. French Bulldog
10. Rottweiler
I'd have to agree, Lab is Top Dog.

Beautiful dog, how is he doing so far and how big has he gotten?
He is a big crazy PITA. 95 pounds now but we love him to death. He's our pal. He is having an issue which he will be going back to the vet tuesday. He has some sort of skin rash. It started out on his back near his tail, has lost quite a bit of hair. We thought maybe it was food so we changed him that, nope. Thought maybe it was the weather or he was " blowing out his coat" nope. Now he has a red rash on his belly and his arm( leg, whatever kinda) pits he has. he constantly is itchy so we put cortisone on him. Hopefully the vet can figure it out.
I will be pet sitting my step daughters lab, not pure-breed, next week and she is the most gentle dog in the world. She has such a soft bite when getting treats out of my hand, whereas my corgi and bulldog didn't care if they drew blood while getting theirs. The lab lived with us for around a year and a half, but our corgi, which passed over a year ago but was the queen of this house, did not get along with well with her.
I agree!
Most laid back dog ever, gets along with anything, other dogs, cats, people, chickens, etc.
A wade fisherman is the most simplistic but the most adept for the quarry they are after. They are immersed in their challenger's habitat and are in tune with the subtle changes of current, temperature and bottom. In order to be successful at this noble and primal fishing form one must be submerged from their goobs to their boobs, anyone doing this outside of that boundary is either sunbathing or swimming.

My dog had something similar, the vet gave me some sort of ointment and it went away after a few weeks. No more issues with whatever it was.
Dogs are like women, you think you know what you like
then you meet one different than you thought you'd like
and you like it anyway.
This will fix him up.
"Today is MINE"
Love her!
It's crazy how fast they grow.
Hold for a new pic.
Hai Bri Bri!
Hope all is well... Come up and have a beer you *****.
Cool looking pup, where did you get it?
Their are now 7 pups running around my office. I have been keeping the little girl until she finds a permanent home. I may keep her...
The pups were all born on Christmas.
I love my Lab.
Hey Polay!
Thats awesome. That's one cute little dog. If I had her for a few days I definitely wouldn't be able to give her up.
I have to disagree..............I can't find a woman to lick the sweat
from between my toes while sitting in my lazy boy recliner.
I know reading is not your strong suit but rice is grain - get the dog 100% off grain. Taste of the Wild and Blue Buffalo should both be available - read the ingredients. No rice corn or soy.
