They drool, they shed, they steal our couches — and our hearts. Every year, the American Kennel Club tallies the nation’s favorite pups, revealing which breeds are most likely to be spotted at the park, the groomer, or hogging the bed. From royal corgis to couch-loving bulldogs, these are the dogs that define American companionship — loyal, lovable, and in some cases, gloriously slobbery.
#1: French Bulldog
The undisputed champ for a second year, the Frenchie has charmed America with its bat ears, snorts, and “I run this apartment” attitude. Low-maintenance in size but high-maintenance in sass, they’re the perfect blend of city chic and clownish mischief.
From New York penthouses to suburban couches, French Bulldogs have officially become America’s favorite flat-faced roommates.
