For many years, Labradors were the most popular dog breed in America. And why shouldn’t they be? They’re playful, loyal, loving, and non-aggressive. In recent years, however, the American Kennel Club, which tracks such things, has declared that the Labrador’s throne now belongs to another popular pup: The French Bulldog.

But the AKC doesn’t just rank the top handful of most popular breeds. No, they rank almost all of them (over 200, to be exact). And if you go way, way down to the very bottom of the list, that’s where you’ll find the official Least Popular Dog in America.

For years, the title of least popular dog breed in the United States belonged to the English Foxhound. But in the most recent AKC rankings, the Foxhound made a 14-spot jump, leaving the bottom spot behind for the first time in quite a while.

AKC popularity isn’t a measure of how likable or even cute a dog breed is, for the record. It’s simply a record of how many pure-breed registrations the AKC receives........
