The beagle -- a happy, inquisitive short-haired hound -- ranked No. 6 on the list of most popular dog breeds for 2017 by the AKC.

The breed was officially recognized in 1885 by the AKC. It's made the top 10 every decade since.


NUMBER 5. BullDog

The bulldog's rise in the top 10 hasn't been a surprise to their fans who extol their unmistakable, push-faced expressions and generally calm manner.
The bulldogs have been quietly moving up the list. It hit No. 4 in 2014 -- the highest ranking in the breed's history. It kept that spot in 2016 but slipped to No. 5 in 2017.

The golden retriever has always been a popular breed and is ranked No. 3 by the American Kennel Club for 2017, the same spot it held in 2015 and 2016.

Overall, AKC has leaned toward larger dogs in the past decade and the golden retriever is no exception.







NUMBER 2. German shepherd



German shepherds retained the No. 2 spot on the American Kennel Club's list of of 10 most popular dog breeds for 2017.

My personal favourite mainly because they have such love and are very protective.

The first impression of a German shepherd is that of a strong, agile, well muscled animal.

It was first officially recognized by the AKC in 1908.




NUMBER 1. Labrador retriever

Known for being easygoing, multi-talented and friendly, Labs have held the top spot for longer than any other breed since the AKC started counting in the 1880s.

You can take your pick of black lab, yellow lab or chocolate lab.







Well who is suprised anyway have a great day from the Viking.
