How do i find out how popular a breed is?

[coco-bean]

I've been searching online for about an hour or so, just trying to figure out how popular certain breeds are! I was curious if there was any website or anything like that that would tell me how popular a certain breed is, and if it is desirable? thanks!

I found a list once that did them in order of popularity not alphabetically... I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: Found one for AKC registrations for 2005. Aussies dropped down to #35 hehe (they were in the top #20 if I remember correctly?)

YAY! Border Collie is #55! I love bringing them down.

Oooh an even better more detailed link:

http://www.akc.org/reg/dogreg_stats.cfm

Of course this is for AKC once again. I can never find any information on UKC

Actually Jess Border Collies have gone UP in popularity since 2004. They were ranked 60 in 04

That really surprises me, though. I'd always thought BCs were a lot more popular than that. More popular than Aussies, anyway.

They are only AKC registration statistics though. I doubt a lot of working BCs are registered. I suppose you can get a general ballpark idea from it but I don't think there is a way to get a completely accurate list on popularity. I saw one awhile back when I was looking around that actually had lists by region. I.e. in MN sporting breeds were mostly towards the top, MN being such an "outdoorsman" type state. Where as larger cities had more dogs like yorkies and toy breeds.

Being honest, I think the AKC Border Collies are ugly.

Any news on the house you and your Mom were possibly putting an offer on?

[cali]

lol I agree, and they just keep getting worse, yuk!

we have not offered on the house, I dont know whats going on anymore, my mom just sort of stopped talking about it.

Groenendael are #111 bwaha. Tervuren are #100, and malinois are #87.

[dab_20]

Poodles are #8 and Cocker's are #15. I don't really care how popular my breed is as long as it works for me! The sad part is the more popular the breed, the more bybs and puppy mills that are breeding them.

[critter crazy]

Bloodhounds are #50!

[CatLuvrs]

Wow doxies are #6!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I hope Tollers stay at their #113 spot! The more rare a breed is, the better off it will be (in my opinion anyway).

Orangutango, you'll never guess what I found last night!
