Labrador Retriever and Miniature Poodle reign
supreme for the second year in a row
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Aug. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Camp Bow Wow, the nation's
leading doggy day care and boarding franchise, has released its
annual list of the top five large and small dog breeds based on its
database of four-legged Campers for 2024 in honor of National Dog
Day on Aug. 26.
Camp Bow Wow's lists include a range of purebreds, mixed-breed
dogs and popular crossbreeds like doodles, rather than only listing
purebred dog registrations.
For the seventh consecutive year, the Labrador Retriever and lab
mixes top the list of large breeds, followed by the Goldendoodle,
Golden Retriever, German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd. For the
second year in a row, the Miniature Poodle tops the list of small
breeds, followed by the Beagle, Chihuahua, Shih Tzu and Dachshund. The Beagle ruled the
list of small dog breeds for five years before the Miniature Poodle
claimed the top spot in 2022.
In addition, Camp Bow Wow has identified the top five dog breeds
by state. For example, the Goldendoodle is most popular in
Iowa and Kentucky, and the Australian Cattle Dog crept
into the top five in New Mexico.
State-by-state lists and AI images of how a dog could
represent its state are available here.
For those who are thinking of adopting a dog, Camp Bow Wow's
Animal Health and Behavioral Expert, Erin
Askeland, MSc, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, notes that the biggest
differentiator between large and small dog breeds is lifespan.
Small dogs tend to have longer lifespans of 12 to 15 years or more,
while large dogs typically have lifespans of around 8 to 12 years
(8 to 10 for giant breeds).
"A dog's breed can influence certain characteristics, but it
shouldn't be the sole factor in choosing which furry friend to add
to the family," said Askeland. "Every dog is unique — some small
dogs have high energy and bold personalities, while some large dogs
have a laid-back demeanor. At Camp Bow Wow, we celebrate all breeds
and believe that every dog deserves a loving home where they can
enjoy playtime, social activities and enrichment. It's the
individual personality of each dog that truly makes them
special."
To keep the National Dog Day celebration going, all dogs who are
at Camp for day care or boarding on Aug.
26 will automatically be entered into Camp Bow Wow's
National Dog Day contest[i] for a chance to
win a grand prize of $500 in Camp
services. Camp Bow Wow will also award five prizes of $100 in Camp services.
With an estimated 50 million dog visits since opening its first
Camp in 2000, Camp Bow Wow offers a safe and enjoyable environment
for dogs of all breeds and sizes. No matter the breed, treating
dogs to a fun-filled day at Camp is a great way to celebrate
National Dog Day.
