Happy National Pet Day: Jersey’s Most Popular Puppy
Happy National Pet Day to you and your four-legged, furry, scaly, or feathered friends!
Pets come in all shapes and sizes, but there’s one type of lovable fluff-balls the folks at Shane Co. decided to study this week, puppies!!! Using the American Kennel Club’s top 38 dog breeds, they pulled Google Trends data to track searches over the last five years. They specifically pulled results for puppy preferences, not dogs in general, to find out which puppy breed New Jersey has been searching for most. They actually studied puppy preferences in all states, from down in Florida, up to Alaska, and every state in between.
As for the most popular puppy overall, Golden Retriever puppies won the national title of America’s favorite puppy, and were the top in six states. Siberian Huskies were searched most in four states, followed by Chow Chow’s and English Bulldogs with three states each. The other puppy breeds that showed up on the list were Australian Shephard, Bassett Hound, Bernese Mountain Dog, Border Collie, Cane Corso, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Corgi, Dachshund, English Bulldog, French Bulldog, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, Greyhound, Labradoodle, Labrador Retriever, Mastiff, Miniature Schnauzer, Pit Bull, Pomeranian, Pug, Rottweiler, Shiba Inu, Shih Tzu, and St. Bernard.
Actually, there was one more that also happens to be the most popular puppy in New Jersey, the Yorkshire Terrier.
