THE MOST POPULAR DOG BREED IN KENTUCKY
Many of you dog lovers won't find these results surprising. A new study reveals the Golden Retriever is Kentucky's most popular dog breed. It's also the most favored breed in the United States. The second most popular dog breed is the French Bulldog, and the Bernese Mountain dog is the third most favored in America.
Golden Retrievers are well known for their friendly, playful nature and intelligence, making them one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. They're often chosen as family pets due to their good temperament, trainability, and overall happy-go-lucky attitude toward life. Their popularity in Kentucky and across many other states is likely due to their versatility, being great companions for outdoor activities, hunting, and service roles.
#2 - FRENCH BULLDOG
As for the French Bulldog, it’s a bit of a surprise for me to see it so high, but it makes sense given their growing appeal as city dogs. They don’t require as much space or exercise as some larger breeds, which makes them a perfect fit for apartment dwellers or people who live in smaller homes. Their playful yet laid-back personality has made them a favorite among dog lovers, especially in urban areas.
#3 - BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG
Bernese Mountain Dogs rounding out the top three is also a fascinating choice. Though large and require more space and exercise, they’re incredibly affectionate, loyal, and good with children, making them a beloved family dog for the right people. Their thick, beautiful coats and calm demeanor make them popular for those who love larger breeds.

Based on the increasing trends of breed popularity, I can see how these results would be accurate. Do you agree with the rankings, or do you have a personal favorite breed that you think should’ve made the top three?
The study conducted by pet nutrition experts at PetLab analyzed over 200 AKC-recognized dog breeds alongside keywords such as 'buy' and 'adopt' through Google's Keyword Planner to produce a ranking for each state's most searched-for breed over the past 12 months.
A spokesperson at PetLab commented: "Whether people are looking to adopt, foster, buy, or just browse through cute pictures online of dogs, it is clear to see the US is obsessed with our furry friends. It is interesting to see that the most popular breed across the country, the Golden Retriever, has popularity by a landslide with some of the most populated states opting for the charming breed."
