top 10 [F] I have 3 yorkies and 3 boxers so i have 2 breeds in the top 10. also have a litter of boxer pups on the ground now 4 weeks old will be ready to go on valentines day :animal36 :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa [/FONT] |
What happen to the chihuahua? I have them with and my yorkies and 2 bulldogs. We have a litter of cute chihuahua pups ready to go on Valentines day. :D |
I do believe this list is based on AKC registrations. That is why the Lab is always #1, since there are so many more pups per litter and if every new owner submits their registration, well they will always be #1. If your furbaby isn't AKC registered then you aren't even counted in the number. The usually have 2 lists, one for # of litters/breed registered and then the other for number of furbabies/breed registered. |
I own three dogs out of the top 5. I have a Lab, Yorkie, and a Golden Retriever. |

Like I've said before, Xavier was a present, and I didn't get to talk to his breeder. The breeder told my mother-in-law that X was "registered" and when I got the papers I saw that they were CKC. Do you guys think she was a puppy mill broker??? I'm so worried... |
Just wanted to bump a good news story onto the site, to get off the bad stuff. Yeah for yorkies!! |
Most Liked Wooooohoooooooooooo!!! We have Yorkies and Shih Tzus!! They are so cute!:animal-pa |
Yorkies should be number 1!!!, We also have 2 Brittany Spaniels but they are not very popular so I don't expect them to make the list. As for as the lab being number one, it does not surprise me but I do find it a little disappointing, there are a lot of other very good sporting dogs out there. Plus in the midwest labs have been popular for so long there has been a lot of bad breeding so unfortunately if you look at the shelters they are full of labs. |
AKC popular breeds If you check out the new list on the AKC website, Yorkies are now number 2 in the Numbers Registered last year! Woo hoo! More folks are finding out about our smart little guys! Its the first time in a many years that a breed has climbed that far so quickly ;) |
I have 3 Yorkies and 1 dachshund, so I made the list twice too. I believe dachshunds were number 7. But they are all our babies, no matter what number they are. We love them all. Can't live without them. :) darlene :dogprints |
