The American Kennel Club's annual ranking of the most popular dog breeds found that the Labrador retriever continued to be the nation's top dog for the 22nd year in a row.
Stopping by Central Florida's SPCA, Executive Vice President Jake White tells us the fact that Labs have topped the list for so long is no surprise.
"Family friendly dog," White says. "So, its reputation preceeds it."
Overall results showed that bulldogs and large dogs are moving up in the rankings, while once-popular smaller breeds like the Yorkshire terrier and the miniature poodle are losing ground.
