    And the winner, yet again, in the most popular purebred dog category is the Labrador retriever.  For the 19th consecutive year the Labrador retriever beat out all other purebred dogs in America to take the top spot in 2009, according to The American Kennel Club (AKC).

     

    While the list virtually remained the same as last year, two breeds rose in popularity. The Bulldog jumped up one spot, while the German shepherd became the second most popular in the nation for the first time in more than three decades.  The rankings are based on 2009 registration statistics released by the AKC.   

     

    Here is the complete list of the top dogs:

     

    1. Labrador Retriever
    2. German Shepherd
    3. Yorkshire Terrier
    4. Golden Retriever
    5. Beagle
    6. Boxer
    7. Bulldog
    8. Dachshund
