According to data from Rover, here are the top eight popular dog breeds in the U.S.

  • Mixed: Mixed dog breeds, known as mutts or hybrids, are the most popular dog breeds. These pups have a variety of lineages, but since they are a mix of breeds, they tend to have random personalities.
  • Labrador Retriever: These dogs come in second place. They are full of energy and have a passion for water activities.
  • Goldendoodle: The Goldendoodles are a mix of Golden Retrievers and Poodles. These cuties are known for their outgoing nature, intelligence and friendly personalities.
  • Golden Retriever: These dogs have a light color to their fur, are playful and love to play in the water.
  • German Shepherd: German shepherds come in fifth place. They are recognized for their wolf-like appearance, loyalty and strong personalities.
  • Chihuahua: These dogs may be small but have fierce and playful personalities.
  • French Bulldog: The French Bulldogs have bat-like ears and boxy faces that are affectionate and playful.
  • Dachshund: According to Rover, Dachshunds come in eighth place. These long-back, short-legged dogs are smart, courageous and scent-hound dogs.
