Top 50 Breeds
The following list is of the top 50 breeds of dogs for
2007. The following three columns offer a snapshot of each breed's popularity over the past ten years.
Each of the breeds listed is linked backed to that breed's Standard
which can be accessed by clicking on the breed name.
The Breed Standard is actually a blueprint for the perfect
specimen of the breed.
It has been developed by the actual breeders who specialize in breeding
that particular type of dog, and those breeders and (dog show judges)
use it to evaluate how closely any individual animal comes to the description of
the perfect specimen of the breed.
You will find in the Standard of the Breed clear and precise
descriptions of what makes the dog good and what attributes might disqualify
the dog from showing (and, possibly, from breeding).
