Today, less than 12 percent of all dogs in the U.S. are AKC registered, while more than half are cross-breeds or mutts.
Of those dogs that are AKC registered, more than half are accounted for by just 10 breeds.
- Labrador Retrievers
- German Shepherd Dogs
- Yorkshire Terriers
- Beagles
- Golden Retrievers
- English Bulldogs
- Boxers
- Dachshunds
- Poodles
- Shih Tzu
The rarest 50 AKC breeds combined represent just 1.2 percent of all AKC registrations, or less than 0.15 percent of all dogs in the United States.
To put that another way, if we had a population of 2,000 dogs in front of us, a total of just 3 AKC-registered dogs would come from ANY of the 50 breeds named below.
