The Rise & Fall Of The Most Popular Dog Breeds

As a nation of animal lovers, dogs are right at the top as one of our most loved pets, but
one thing we don’t often agree on is which dog breed, if any, is our favourite.

Using data from The Kennel Club about the registrations of dog breeds received in the UK, we’ve analysed dog registrations over the last 30 years to see which breeds have seen a surge in popularity and which have remained our firm favourites.
