Another aspect of the article that would heavily infuence the statistics... Mine are both purebreds from long lines of champions, but that does not mean that I have bothered to register them, so how would the AKC know about them? My breeder gave me the paperwork to register them, but I did not bother to. I see many more yorkies than labs when I go walking. Could be because I live in a suburban area. Pugs were not even on the list, and I see lots of those guys too; can't belive they are not in the top ten.
You would think that little dogs would have an edge also becuase so many more people have pairs vs a single toy breed. |
