The Top 10 Most Popular Dog Breeds in America in 2023

Back to back wins for America’s newest favorite breed! Today, the American Kennel Club announced that the French Bulldog is the most popular dog breed in the country for the second year in a row.

The lovable Lab repeated in the runner up spot in 2023, and rounding out the 2023 top five are the Golden Retriever (#3), the German Shepherd (#4) and the Poodle (#5) – the same top 5 breeds as last year.
