The Last of the List but Not the Worst

The Last of the List but Not the Worst
By Robert Forto, PhD

Recently, the American Kennel Club (AKC) issued its list of the top ten dogs in the United States for 2009 (tabulated by registration numbers. I wrote a quick article about this last week and this week I am going to talk about the list ten dog breeds registered with the AKC.

As the owner and training director of Denver Dog Works we see all kinds of dogs come into our training center and I can safely say that all of the dogs on the bottom ten we hardly ever see. It is just like anything else, including canine behavior problems, quantity in numbers.

I urge all of you to do your homework when searching for the newest member of your family and do not automatically choose the dog based on popularity.

Least Popular Pure Bred Dogs

Skye Terrier
Canaan Dog
Sealyham Terrier
Glen of Imaal Terrier
Sussex Spaniel
Finnish Spitz
Otterhound
American Foxhound
Harrier
English Foxhound

At Denver Dog Works we provide breed referrals to help owners choose the dog that is best suited to the family’s lifestyle. If you have any questions please feel free to call us anytime at 303-578-9881.
