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.
