The number one purebred found at pounds is the Labordor Retriever.
I'm not at all surprised at that. Labradors are absolutely the most worthless, destructive dogs you can imagine.. for the first couple years. Once they are fully grown they are perhaps the best dog a family can have-sweet personalities, protective, great with kids, etc.. The problem is, most people don't make it through the terrible puppy years. It takes a lot of patience to put up with chewed-up furniture, uprooted trees, etc..

When young they're high energy and can be hard to handle. They're a popular breed and there are lots of people who hear the words "good pet" or "good with children" and think that means "no work".
