Pet Preferences

The AKC looked at the top 10 breeds in the nation's largest cities. Some interesting facts:
The Bulldog is most popular in Los Angeles, where it is ranked 2nd right after the Labrador
Detroit, Knoxville, Miami, Honolulu and Orlando are the only cities that do not have the Labrador in the top spot. Detroit and Miami favor the German Shepherd, while Orlando puts the Yorkshire Terrier in first place; Honolulu the Golden Retriever, and Knoxville the Boxer
Salt Lake City is the only city to place the Shih Tzu in a top spot.
Oklahoma City places the Miniature Schnauzer in top spot.
San Francisco and Los Angeles were the only cities to include the French Bulldog in their top 10 list.

Don't forget the big Westminster Dog Show is coming up this Monday and Tuesday February 11 and 12. Watch for it on television! Westminster was the only dog show in America in 2007 to have entries in every recognized breed and variety. See it on USA Network. Four newly recognized breeds will make their debut this year.
The Plott, the Tibetan Mastiff, the Beauceron and the Swedish Vallhund. Now there are a total of 169 different breeds and varieties in competition!
