As the state capital of Massachusetts, Boston is the largest city in the Bay State. And it makes sense that the AKC would wonder what the top dog breed in the city was.
Recently, the Labrador Retriever lost its top spot as the breed of choice for dog lovers after a record breaking 31 years. The new top dog? That would be the French Bulldog.
But not every city or state is going to prefer a French Bulldog or even a Labrador Retriever. And thanks to the AKC, we know that there are definitely different dog breeds topping the list in cities like Boston, Massachusetts or Atlanta, Georgia.
So what are the top dog breeds in the Massachusetts capital? Here are the top five breeds of dogs for the people of Boston as of the end of 2022.
