Popular pets in 2019

The 144th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show -- to be held at Madison Square Garden in New York City Feb. 10 and 11 -- will, no doubt, have people talking about various dog breeds.

What do you think are the most popular purebred dogs in the world?

A compilation by highlandcanine.com based on Google Trends data resulted in the following list:

1. Bulldog

2. German shepherd

3. Labrador retriever

4. Siberian husky

5. Pug

6. Golden retriever

7. Poodle

8. Chihuahua

9. French Bulldog

10. Pomeranian



Meanwhile, the American Kennel Club performed the same study on Google Trends in the United States, and came up with these rankings:

1. Labrador retriever

2. German shepherd

3. Golden retriever

4. French bulldog

5. Bulldog

6. Beagle

7. Poodle

8. Rottweiler

9. Yorkshire terrier

10. Pointer

But the most popular 'breed' of dog in the United States by far remains ... the mutt. According to the American Humane Association, mixed breed dogs account for 53 percent of all dogs in the United States.
