What are the most common dog breeds in your area?

Question

Or mixes
Obviously don't put your whole address though

I asked this question almost a year ago and got ALOT of responses, I want to see if things are still the same(which i'm pretty sure they are)

In my area (Minnesota) there are alot more golden retrievers than labs, badly bred of course and german shorthaired pointers and Ensligh springer spaniels are becoming more common

Answer 1

I live in a rural area that is a direct suburb of a big city (central PA). Around here I see lots of Golden Ret, and Yellow Labs (i know that each color is the same breed, but for some reason I see yellow more often). I have 4 pit bulls, and I know a neighbor that has 2....so considering my 'neighborhood' only has 11 houses, and 4 of those are seasonal homes I guess that kinda tips the curve over towards Pits as the most popular by default (in my immediate neighborhood). I did work at the local pound for 2 years. It covered over 3 counties, divided into over 50 townships/boroughs. The most popular were pit bull type dogs, then followed closely by Labs and Huskies. Although lately a lot of 'oodle mixes are showing up (poodles crossed with labs/goldens etc). I rarely see German Shorthairs or English Springers! But I have been seeing more of the 'designer' bulldogs (old english, Victorian, Bull Boxer) for sale in the local Craigslist. Personally I think its BYB bull S***.

Answer 2

German Shepherd

Schnauzer

Shih-Tzu

Maltese

Labrador

And many mixes of some the breeds above and others which I have no idea and neither does the owner.



Forgot. This is MY neighborhood in Florida. To my knowledge I am the only person to have an American Pit Bull Terrier. (Pick up that little dog and run, run, run!!! My baaad Pit is going eat it!) Sure. I have 5 dogs under 20 pounds in my house. One is 8 pounds. She eats one every day so I just keep replacing them........

Answer 4

I live in rural Idaho and there are a lot of border collies or border collie mixes that are mostly used for herding, driving cows, hard-working farm dogs. Its pretty neat to see a dog working doing what it was made to do. There are also a lot of miniature pinschers. You see them in the paper for sale all the time, or in the pound. My husband and I have one, 6 years old. Bot those seem to be the two most common ones around here.

Answer 7

All mutts from BYB's.

Not a single person who bought a dog from a responsible breeder. One of the dogs , my next door neighbors have a pit bull with its hair falling down 80% bald and its not even two years old. I told them to take it to the vet they refused. They said, ''vets are normal people just like us and plus *Missy*(the pit bull) is perfectly fine, their just stress marks''. Wow. She had puppies they all had parvo and she sold them like that. She is now blaming me for the parvo. Why? I don't know maybe because they are as dumb as a rock. No dumber.

Answer 8

I live in southern Indiana, and our shelters are FULL of pits and pit mixes. They are everywhere.



Lots of Labs & Boxers, too. When I was grooming I saw a ton of Shih Tzus, but I rarely see them out on the street. Kinda odd.

Answer 11

Labs and lab mixes, thanks to a Back Yard Lab/poodle mix Breeder.
