Why Columbus?

This just in — Labrador retriever is Columbus’ favorite dog

Columbus follows National Trends

On the lighter side, it turns out we like our labs (did you know they have webbed feet) boxers and shepards. When I’m at Goodale Park, Franklin Park or Schiller Park with my family, I see all of these breeds in good numbers.

If you have a dog and you’re considering buying a home soon, don’t forget that you can always build a fence (except in certain restrictive neighborhoods where it may be outlawed by the local civic association). Don’t make a fenced-in yard a priority in your home search because it’ll knock out a lot of excellent contenders.

The Labrador retriever is the most popular dog registered with the American Kennel Club in Columbus and in the nation, the organization said Monday.

Local results are similar to national trends with the German shepherd, Yorkshire terrier and golden retriever in the top five for both lists.

Following the Labrador, the most popular dogs in Columbus are the boxer and German shepherd – tied for third place – the Yorkshire terrier, poodle and miniature schnauzer. Dachshunds came in eighth place, followed by the beagle and Pomeranian.

Nationally, the Yorkshire terrier is the second most popular registered dog, followed by the German shepherd, golden retriever, beagle and dachshund. Toward the bottom of the list in seventh place was the boxer, followed by the poodle, Shih Tzu and miniature schnauzer.

The New York-based American Kennel is a nonprofit organization and oversees the sport of purebred dogs in the U.S.
