Chesapeake Bay Retriever

The lovable Labrador Retriever is no longer the most popular dog breed in the United States, as French Bulldogs take over the top spot, the American Kennel Club (AKC) announced on March 15.

Labs, which the New York-based registry describes as "famously friendly" and "an enthusiastic athlete," had been the most popular dog breed for 31 years prior to 2022.

Police unusually took a dog into custody following the complaints of a neighbor, a prosecutor apparently “disturbed” by the golden retriever who claimed it was aggressive and dangerous.
