RECREATION : PETS
List: Top Ten Most Popular Registered Breeds of Dog in the USA
Date: 1999
Source: American Kennel Club registrations
Base: All dog breeds recognised by the AKC.
Notes: Figures are rounded-up (rounded-up! geddit?) to the nearest '000. Goldie's are great but they shed too much. From the list below your editor would have to go for the boxer - great personality, boundless energy and a face that just makes you go 'awwwwwwwwww'. We're also going to link to one of the best doggy videos on the web (IOHO) - the dog is called Bailey and is clearly enjoying itself immensely
