1) Bulldog
AKC Rank: 3

Countries/regions most popular in: United Kingdom, Hungary, United States

According to data from Google Trends, the Bulldog is the most popular dog breed in the world. Estimates indicate that the search term ‘bulldog’ is searched on a worldwide basis over 1.5 million times every month.

Also known as the British Bulldog and English Bulldog, this breed has a very distinctive set of unmistakable facial features. The Bulldog is muscular and well-set. They are typically friendly and courageous, sporting a smooth and glossy coat. They need some exercise to avoid becoming overweight – although they prefer to spend hot, sunny days indoors, as their short snout can cause breathing difficulties.

The history of the Bulldog dates back to the thirteenth century, when these brave dogs were used in the unsavory pastime of bull-baiting. Their sheer bravery and unbreakable spirit shines through to this day. England banned these brutal blood sports in 1835, and admirers faced a battle to prevent the breed from becoming extinct. The bulldog thus underwent a transformation from a fighter to a loyal, loving family pet who interacts well with children.

The phrase ‘bulldog spirit’ is derived from the tenacious nature of the breed. The dog is a national icon in England, and during the Second World War, Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s defiant attitude – not to mention his appearance – was likened to that of the Bulldog.
