Introduction

We love dogs. And we love learning about them, too. So how about we take a look at the most popular dog breeds from every state? There are plenty of great ways to do this online: The American Kennel Club keeps track of all sorts of data, including which breeds are most popular in each state.

The top dog breeds in each state.

• Labrador Retriever

The Labrador Retriever is the most popular dog breed in the United States, with an estimated 3.5 million dogs across the country. These gentle and friendly canines were originally bred to be hunting dogs, but they’ve since become well-known as companion animals who are eager to please their owners and enjoy spending time with them. Labs are devoted family members who love to play fetch or go for walks with their humans, but they can also be trained for advanced tricks like retrieving objects or performing basic commands like “sit” or “down.” They’re loyal companions who will always provide love and affection—but don’t forget that this breed sheds!

• German Shepherd/ Alaskan Malamute/ Siberian Husky

These three breeds make up our list of ten most popular American dog breeds because they share similarities when it comes to appearance and personality traits: all three have thick double coats that require regular brushing; they’re all intelligent animals who enjoy learning new things; they’re generally not aggressive towards people (although there have been cases where these breeds have attacked humans), so if you want a dog that’s easygoing but still protective enough for hiking trips in the mountains or camping trips out on public lands then one of these three may just be right for you!

Alabama

The Alaskan Klee Kai is a small, energetic dog that makes a great family pet. They like to be around people and other pets, but they also need a lot of exercise. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who likes to play outside, this might be the dog for you!

Alaskan Klee Kai

• Alaskan Klee Kai is a rare breed, and there are only about 3,000 dogs of this breed in the U.S.
• Alaskan Klee Kai is a small dog that weighs between 4 and 7 pounds. It has been described as looking like a cross between an Alaskan Husky and a Shiba Inu.
• A loyal and loving companion, most owners say their Alaskan Klee Kai will “follow them around all day long.”
• An intelligent dog who learns quickly and retains what he’s learned well into adulthood, this breed can be trained to do tricks or respond to commands like “sit” or “shake.”

Arizona

• Labrador Retriever: These beloved pets are the most popular dogs in America, and they’re also the most popular in Arizona.
• Border Collie: This energetic breed has been called “the world’s greatest athlete.”
• German Shepherd Dog: One of the most versatile breeds on this list, German Shepherds make excellent working dogs, police dogs and companions for children. They can also be trained to perform tricks like jumping through hoops or playing dead at will!
• English Springer Spaniel: The English Springer Spaniel is an active yet gentle dog that’s eager to please its owner.

Border Collie

The Border Collie is a breed of herding dog that originated in the border region between England and Scotland. It was bred to work in large flocks of sheep, and is known for its intelligence and loyalty. The Border Collie’s energy level can be described as “high,” so if you live an active lifestyle, this dog might be a good choice for you!

Arkansas

Arkansas is home to the Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever and German Shepherd Dog. Beagles and Boxers round out the top five dog breeds in Arkansas. Maltese only made it to number 10 on this list, despite being America’s most popular dog breed overall.

Labrador Retriever

The Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in America. They are known for their loyalty and love of people, which makes them good family pets. Their energy level is high, but they are also calm and well-behaved when not being active.

California

California is a state that’s known for its dog lovers. With the temperate weather and beautiful scenery, it’s no wonder that west coast residents have so many furry friends in their lives. If you’re looking for a dog breed that truly represents California, here are your top five choices:

German Shepherds (GSDs) are typically known as police dogs or army dogs but they’ve also been used as family pets since being imported from Germany in the late 1800s. They’re great with kids, require minimal grooming and don’t shed much hair—in short, they’re a perfect fit for any home environment.

French Bulldog

French bulldog is a small, compact dog breed that was originally bred in England as bull-baiting dogs. It has since been developed into a companion animal because of its friendly and playful temperament. French bulldogs are also known for their bat-like ears, which they use to communicate with each other by wiggling them around.

French bulldogs have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their calm demeanor, intelligence and affectionate personality. They have an average life span of 10 to 13 years and need minimal grooming; however they do require regular exercise such as brisk walking on leash or playing fetch indoors (or even out).

Colorado

If you’re the owner of a German Shepherd Dog, then you can consider yourself lucky. Not only is this breed one of the most popular dogs in the world, it’s also one of our favorites here at Bark & Co.!

It’s no wonder why these pups have been crowned as America’s most popular breed for several decades running—they’re loyal as hell and great with kids. They’re also intelligent, strong enough to withstand harsh climates (hello Colorado), and have an impeccable sense of smell thanks to their excellent nose structure. Even if your GSD isn’t exactly like Lassie, they’ll still make solid companions on hikes or runs around town or just relaxing at home watching Netflix together (but only if it’s not The Witch).

German Shepherd Dog

If you’re wondering what the most popular dog breed in your state is, we’ve got you covered.

German Shepherd Dogs are known for their loyalty and intelligence. They originally were bred to herd sheep, but now they are popular as police dogs, guard dogs and search and rescue dogs. They also make great companions for families with active lifestyles because of their high energy levels.

Siberian Husky

The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog breed that originated in northeastern Siberia. With proper training, they can make good pets for families with children. The Siberian Husky is known for its friendly, gentle and loyal temperament; however, it requires plenty of exercise to keep from becoming bored or destructive.

The breed has a dense double coat that can be either all one color or white with markings. They have erect ears that point forward, triangular in shape with a slightly rounded tip. The body is compact with well-developed muscle; the legs are parallel when viewed from the front or rear which helps them move faster than other breeds while pulling sleds over long distances at high speeds.

Delaware

If you’re interested in bringing a Siberian Husky into your home, be prepared for a lot of exercise and cleaning. The breed is known for being very active, which means they will need plenty of time outside running around with their humans. They can also get bored easily, so taking them out on walks is important to keep them entertained.

They are very intelligent dogs that are known to be excellent family pets because they get along well with children and other pets. However, they have an independent streak so training them can be difficult at times — but this isn’t going to stop us from trying!

Miniature Schnauzer

Miniature Schnauzer

Miniature Schnauzers are a breed of small dog that originated in Germany. They’re often described as “miniature pinschers,” as they share many characteristics with the Pinscher breed family. The most prominent trait that sets apart Mini Schnauzers from other breeds is their wiry, harsh coat. While this may seem like an undesirable feature at first glance (kinda like how we think of wool sweaters), their coat actually helps keep them warm during cold weather, so it could be considered an asset once you get used to it! In addition to their unique coats and overall appearance, Mini Schnauzers can also be distinguished by their alert nature and playful personalities. These dogs have been known to adapt well with children or adults who want an energetic companion; however if left alone for too long without proper exercise then they might get bored which could lead them into trouble!

Florida

A French Bulldog is a small, friendly dog that makes a great family pet. These dogs are very affectionate, loyal and playful. They can also be stubborn so training is recommended for this breed. The French Bulldog has a good temperament and does well with children of all ages as long as they are taught how to properly handle this breed.

The French Bulldog likes getting attention from his owner but does not demand it like many other breeds of dog such as German Shepherds or Pit Bulls. When you get home from work, instead of needing some alone time you can expect him to greet you at the door with lots of excitement!

Yorkshire Terrier

The Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog breed that originated in Yorkshire, England. Known for its long silky coat, the Yorkie has a wiry hair that requires regular grooming. This makes them ideal for people who have the time to groom their pet regularly. They are generally healthy but some health problems do occur such as heart disease and cataracts.

Yorkshire terriers were first bred to hunt rats in clothing mills during the Industrial Revolution in England. In fact, they earned their name because they were originally found near textile factories where they were used as mousers!

Georgia

• Yorkshire Terrier
• Shih Tzu
• English Springer Spaniel
• Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Shih Tzu

The Shih Tzu is a small dog with a personality to match their size. They are affectionate and loyal, which makes them great pets for families with kids. They get along well with other animals and love attention from their humans.

The Shih Tzu’s long, silky coat requires daily brushing and grooming to keep it soft and healthy. The breed can be sensitive to heat or cold weather, so keeping them indoors when temperatures are too high or low is important for their health and happiness!

Hawaii

Hawaii is the only state on this list that doesn’t boast a top dog breed. In fact, the only state from which it’s missing is Alaska—and there’s no telling whether or not that would’ve made any difference anyway.

As far as weather goes, Hawaii has very little in common with its fellow Pacific states like California and Oregon. The average high temperature during July (the hottest month of the year on average) is around 81 degrees Fahrenheit—plenty warm enough for shorts or swim trunks but not so hot that you’re going to want to get out of the pool anytime soon.

If you want some beach time, there are plenty of options: Waikiki Beach, Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, Makena Beach & Golf Resort…the list goes on! And if you’re looking for something more exciting than taking pictures of tropical fish swimming by your feet (but still within sight), check out Big Island’s Kilauea Volcano or Maui’s Haleakalā Crater Observatory; both offer great views from different heights above ground level and give tourists a chance at seeing active volcanoes up close.

Shar Pei

The Shar Pei is a medium-sized dog of Chinese origin. The breed’s history dates back to the Han Dynasty, around 206 B.C., when it was used as a war dog and guard dog by the peasants. In fact, the name “Sha” means “sand,” and pei means “skin”—hence its name: sand skin.

The breed is known for its distinctive deep wrinkles and a blue-black tongue that has earned them the nickname “blue bloods.” The Shar Pei is a loyal, devoted companion with an independent streak that makes them great watchdogs.

Idaho

• English Springer Spaniel
• Labrador Retriever
• Golden Retriever

English Springer Spaniel

The English Springer Spaniel is a medium-sized dog with a short, dense coat. The breed originated in the United Kingdom and was bred as a hunting dog. It has been around since the 16th century and was first recognized by the AKC in 1887.

This is one of those breeds that’s just easy to love because it loves everyone so much itself! This loyal and loving dog is good with children but should not be left unattended around them because they can get too excited and knock down younger kids or even jump on top of them. They also love playing fetch, swimming, jogging, or just running around outside! If you have enough time for exercise each day then this would be a great choice for you!

Did you know the top dog breed in your state?

Did you know the top dog breed in your state? No, not the most popular overall, but specifically the one that’s most popular with people who live in your state. According to research from the American Kennel Club, this is an important distinction.

The AKC recently released a report on America’s most popular breeds by state. As you might expect from their national rankings, large dogs like Labs and German Shepherds are still among America’s favorites. But there are some small surprises too: In Wyoming, it’s a Papillon; in Vermont it’s an Australian Shepherd; and in South Carolina? An English Bulldog.*

So why does each state have its own favorite breed? And what can our preferences tell us about ourselves?

Conclusion

There are so many dog breeds to choose from, and we hope this post has helped you narrow down your list. We know it can be overwhelming—especially if you’re new to raising a puppy—but don’t worry! Remember that each breed has its own unique traits, so do your research and pick one that fits best with your lifestyle.
