Labrador Retrievers hold the top spot on this list for the 18th consecutive year! The Lab has been considered one of the most popular breeds in the world for some time now. Plus, a very large percentage of shelter dogs are at least Lab mixes, if not purebred Lab.
If you know Labradors, then you know that these are happy, friendly dogs with sweet, loving personalities. They are also masters of retrieval - just try to keep a Lab from chasing a tennis ball! With a strong history as water dogs and hunter's helpers, Labs are also great competitors in most of today's dog sports. Plus, their intelligence and loyalty make them perfect assistance dogs.
