Labrador retrievers are still man's top best friend in the U.S., but a certain breed just strutted its way into the top five for the first time in nearly a quarter-century.
, German shepherds, poodles, bulldogs, beagles, Rottweilers, German shorthaired pointers and dachshunds.Poodles reigned as top dog from 1960 to 1982 before falling off somewhat in popularity. But in the new statistics, they reclaimed the fifth spot for the first time since 1997.
Their intelligence comes with some high expectations, Hinds-Athan says: In training, "if you’re going to fuss at them, you’d better be really right. Because if you’re not really fair with them, they remember it."Poodles also make up part of several popular hybrids, such as Labradoodles, maltipoos and sheepadoodles. The AKC, a governing body for many dog shows, doesn't currently recognize any of those as breeds.
The imposing, mastiff-style cane corso goes back many centuries in rural Italy as a farm guardian that also pulled small carts and hunted wild boar. Its versatility endures, says Anthony Simonski, who has owned or bred corsi that compete in agility, dock diving and other sports and have appeared in TV shows and music videos.
