Please consider adopting a pet from your local shelter. This can be a very rewarding experience.

#1 in dog breeds and has been for a very long time. The Labrador Retriever is a truly wonderful dog. They come in three colours and a variety of those colours for flair.
Hi Barra...
Welcome back.
My best dogs have been a Kerry Blue Terrier and a Flat Coated Retriever. I am getting another Flat Coat... they are fantastic.

I have had many dogs in my life but the best dog ever was a Dachsund cross of very doubtful parentage that I got from the RSPCA shelter in 1968. Faithful & protective.Whenever we played cricket in the park over the road "Ikey" was always the longstop.Any ball that got past the wicket keeper was fetched by Ikey.He loved the game.He lived for an (Estimated) 19 years.Sometimes I still miss him.Consider going to the shelter if you are looking for a dog Barra.Very rewarding.

As for breeds, I think that the Labrador is still the most popular breed, and for good reason with their laid back demeanor, and good attitude, and athleticism.

The most popular big dogs are----- labs, especailly black labs, golden retrievers, pit bulls
Some of the most popular small dogs are still chiauaus,(sp) , wirey terriers----like Cairn terriers. Shit- zus, the Jack Russell terrier is still out there, even tho' they have been known to bite; pugs, Yorkies are very popular. Schauzers are still out there. My bro had two of them for his kids......but not both at the same time.The kids loved the Schnauzers.

Puppies are cute but remember dogs live up to 14 years, when selecting a dog it is best to choose one that fits into your lifestyle. You can rescue dogs from the pound, but be aware that some of these dogs have problems associated with abuse or neglect, so make sure you have the time to train and give the dog the affection and needs.
This is what I own Weimaraners they are not for everyone, they often suffer from seperation anxiety, they love to be with their owners, every dog has there issues Boxers are very energetic they are forever young, with terriers you need good fencing as they are great escape artists. Pugs need constant vet care. Research what dog is best for you!!

Most popular for who? or what kind of person? Your better of detailing yourself and life and then asking for breed suggestions that you will like the best and others too if you have a plan like using the dog for picking up women which goes along with need to be more precise to get what you want. And definitely use the internet to find local people and shelters looking for a home for the breed of your choice. That's a win for endless reasons which no possible negative and if you see a negative, let me know since I would be happy to shoot it down. Good luck with your search and I hope you find exactly what your looking for.
On a side note, if your more blue collar, then a Boxer is a popular choice. Some would say Labrador Retriever is your more a family man. Then if your more a white collar, who is single, I would say Yorkshire Terrier or Chihuahua are popular. Also strangely popular for many types that I rather not get into. And then if you want to go the popular bad boy direction, a Pit Bull would be a popular choice. Now remember, this all means little due to the lack of detail with your question but I support anyone that ever asks for help or ideas.
Now i'm kinda curious about your job since I pick up much intelligence with your question but lack any idea of age or anything else. I bet that sounded odd, but after being a pet store manager for far too long and selling extremely over priced dogs to people I always used nothing less then complete truth. Anyway, I have much experience working with every dog breed that majority knows off and less of the unusual since not much sales on special orders since its just a matter of putting a dog that a person sees as cute into their arms and a playroom and the dog literally sells itself without even trying to gain its freedom from the cage. And its so sad but the more aged cages that look like doggie prison and while keeping the cages as terrible as possible while still only replacing when forced sells way more then pretty new cages. Tell me that isn't sad. I think I've rambled on more then enough. Good luck with everything.

Go to the dog pound, they have a large selection of dogs from large to small and in between. These are dogs that their master has died, moved to a place that doesn't allow animals, etc,,,,
You can't go wrong with selecting one of these animals. They make loving pets, I have always gone to the pound or one of those save a pet places. You could call the humane society for advice on your selection. Believe me, you will not be disappointed.

I’ll take another Golden Retriever like my old Annie. Gentle, Kind, Bright, Fun, Protective, Understanding of human emotions, good with kids, quick. My old Annie liked to walk around with a stuffed bear in her mouth. She looked really stupid at that time but she told me it was better than her getting a real duck.
