According to recently released statistics from the American Kennel Club, the top 10 dog breeds in New York City are:

1. Labrador Retriever
2. Yorkshire Terrier
3. Dachsund
3. Havanese
3. Poodle
6. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
7. French Bulldog
8. Golden Retriever
9. Bulldog
10. Pug

But if you spend any time at the city's dog runs, you'll see that Great Danes, rottweilers, Bernese Mountain dogs, and pit bulls are popular too. As AKC spokesperson Lisa Peterson points out, "[R]egardless of space constraints, Manhattanites still favor the energetic and exuberant Labrador Retriever above all, demonstrating that nothing can deter a true dog lover from owning their favorite breed.”
