For the 27th year, the most popular purebred dog in America is the Labrador retriever. But other breeds, or kinds of dogs, are quickly gaining in the chase for popularity, especially the French bulldog. Frenchies, as they are also called, are now the number-four dog in the country. Coming in second is the German shepherd. The golden retriever is third. The American Kennel Club released its latest dog rankings Wednesday. Also in the top 10 are the bulldog, beagle, poodle, Rottweiler, Yorkshire terrier and the German shorthaired pointer. The lovable Lab has ruled as America’s top dog longer than any other. And the friendly beagle is the only dog that has made the AKC’s top 10 list every year since the club’s founding in 1884.
