Australia

Australian has an estimated canine population of 4.8 million nationally and 52% of all owned dogs are purebred. What’s the favourite dog breed? Well, in 2017 there was one breed that Australians are still barking mad for – the loveable, family-friendly Labrador Retriever! But these large dogs may not be ‘top dog’ for long, as smaller canines are increasing in popularity.

According to registration figures of Dogs NSW, the controlling body of pure bred dog breeding and exhibiting in NSW, and Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC), Labradors have been the most popular breed for many years, but smaller canines such as the French Bulldog and Miniature Schnauzer are slowly wagging their tails to the top.

In NSW, the French Bulldog, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel have all jumped up a spot from the year before, bumping off the gregarious British Bulldog and welcoming the lively and affectionate Miniature Schnauzer into the Top 10 most popular breeds.

Nationally, the French Bulldog and Miniature Schnauzer have climbed a step from the year before, leaving the playful Staffordshire Bull Terrier at No 2. – a position this adored breed has held for several years.
