COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — While Aug. 31 might be designated as National Mutt Day, dog lovers in the U.S. still have preferences when it comes to certain breeds.

A U.S. News & World Report study analyzed pet insurance data from September 2023 to March 2024 to find the most popular dog breeds across the country and in 25 of the most populous U.S. cities, including Columbus.

Study authors noted that goldendoodles, golden retrievers, and French bulldogs all stood out in their popularity in the states. The three breeds appeared at the top of 20 of the 25 cities examined.

Additionally, while the Chihuahua arrived as the top dog in the country overall, none of the 25 cities put it in the No. 1 spot.

Another interesting outcome was that of all types of poodles, only the toy poodle made it onto the national list.
