We all have different opinions about which dog breeds are the best, but research does not lie.

The American Kennel Club released a list of the most popular dog breeds in specific cities.

Here is what the report had to say about the number 1 most popular dog in the United States:

"The Labrador Retriever was the most popular dog breed in the United States in 2021 — for the 31st year in a row, no less! (It usurped the Cocker Spaniel in 1991, and hasn't let go of the No. 1 spot since.) But when looking at the most popular dog breeds in specific cities across the country, the Lab doesn’t always reign supreme."

With so many different breeds to choose from, several states vary in which type of pup takes the top spot.
