AKC Breed Standings- 2006

[borzoimom]

The numbers are out.. (I was shocked to see breeds that were lower in registrations than the Borzois)... The list is amazing and a real eye looker.. http://www.akc.org/reg/dogreg_stats.cfm

[GreyhoundGirl]

Whippets are 60. haha, I don't even see greys on there. :P

[borzoimom]

Greyhounds are 136... Makes me wonder if the racing dogs are added or registered by the kennels in the AKC... hmm....

[Flatcoatluver]

98 Setters (English)
100 Retrievers (Flat-Coated)
I didn't know both of my dogs are so close together.

So did mine drop.. What amazed me was like Westminster- more fox hounds, pointers have won etc.. Yet look at the numbers.. Keep in mind- this is the years rank of how many registrations they have.. YOu can also do a search by city or state on your breed..

[3GSDMom]

GSDs moved up a ranking..not necessarily a good thing =/

Rottweilers moved down one.

Westminster is in around 2 weeks! :eek: I'll be flying out there soon. :D
Hoping to photograph a lot of the breeds there.

The last year I checked, labs and retrievers were 1 & 2. I didn't realize Yorkshires moved up the list so much.

I have a miniature dachshund, #6 on the list. He's getting old though. :(

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Tollers are #110 (three up from last year). I hope they stay unpopular for a long, long time.

I would not worry about it.. considering the ranking in borzois is like 695 dogs or close to it- and they were at their ranking- I would not worry about it.

Racers and show greyhounds might as well be two different breeds. Racers are NGA reg'd and show greys are AKC reg'd. Dual registration is not uncommon because I remember seeing a gorgeous AKC hound who also raced as an NGA hound.

Personally, I'm glad Pekes dropped one this year. I feel bad for Yorkies, though. There's been a huge surge in popularity these past few years.

136 Greyhounds 134

they are on the list! LOL

however I am thrilled to see my rotties and the dobies sliding down the list, which is even better for them!

[Pam]

Poodles: #8 and steady. :)

[vinjashira]

Labradors have been #1 for a long time, haven't they?

does anyone know the ranks in the UK?

[elizabethann]

That is an interesting article.

Now, they are getting their facts by the number of AKC registered dogs, correct? I don't know how they do that.

Yes- it is the number of each breed registered each year. You will see last years standing of 2005 to the right..

[applesmom]

For the more popular breeds such as labs there are at least a hundred unregistered puppies born for every one that is registered. And that doesn't even count the lab crosses. It's no wonder we have a pet overpopulation problem!

Yet every one who breeds their beloved pet is absolutely convinced that they aren't doing anything wrong and certainly aren't the ones responsible for adding to the tragedy! :eek:

85 Dalmatians 77
