The answer to the question, “What dog is the favorite?” is always, “Mine!” However, the American Kennel Club releases a list of America’s favorite canines every year, and it looks like the top spot is pretty consistent.

Just below the Lab, the Frenchie takes the #2 spot, ranking above the German Shepherd Dog and Golden Retriever for the first time. And the Dachshund makes its way into the top 10 this year, knocking the Pembroke Welsh Corgi down to #11.
