All the years that the Cocker Spaniel held this popularity caused great harm to the breed. It seems the Lab breeders are doing a good job of resisting the temptations that would lead to the destruction of the breed.
If I lived on a farm: German Sheppard. No question. In my apartment I settled for a couple of cats.
My 10 y/o Chocolate Lab, Jake, would agree. He’s very vain anyway.
Labs are the best natured dogs, in fact most of them are just plain sweet.
Woof
Yee haw! Labbies first again!
I got a red lab. Great dog.
That list seems mostly right on. I can’t for the life of me figure out why yorkies are ranked so high. Talk about a worthless creature...
I used to know a lady that raised yorkies. One day I was talking to her about dog breeds and I happened to mention that I thought pugs were about the most useless and untrainable dog breed ever invented. She said...there’s one worse, that I know of. Yorkies.”.
And she was a yorkie breeder!
I have a labradinger (black lab springer mix). Does that count?
Yes, lab sized with all the energy and bounce of a springer.

I’ve got a Shetland Sheepdog. My wife’s choice; I wouldn’t have picked a Sheltie myself.
But, what an excellent dog. I’m surprised they’re not more popular.
Back on topic, she’s the second best dog I ever had. The first was a black lab named Leroy that I had as a teen. Leroy was more of a companion than a pet.
There is, respectfully to others breed lovers, no other dog for me. I've lost Labs in divorce settlements, lost labs to cancer and as someone who works in explosive detection, worked with Auburn University's Canine Odor Detection Research Department (Google their website), specializing in the use and breeding of Labs, feels there is no greater friend, and no greater dog.
I am being selfish emotionally...there is only one #1 breed...Das Lab!
My girl is now looking at me eyes that tell me I should be giving her a "Bedtime Treat" bone now...gotta go!!!!
Go Lab Lovers!!!!
I’ve been working in the pet industry for over 30 years, mostly as a groomer and breeder. I love labs! I love Cockers. I once worked with a Cocker whose owners wouldn’t keep him up and then had him de-matted to keep him in full coat. I met him after this trauma and every 4-6 weeks I groomed him. After 2 years anyone could groom him and he was wonderful.
I’ve never met a Yorky that wasn’t in touch with its inner Pit Bull. LOL! 200lbs of terrier in a tiny body!
Beagles make me melt and Dachsunds always break my heart because their extra tough nails make them afraid of the groomer :>(
I guess I’ll cut this short and tell what breeds I don’t like. Afghan hounds. Dumb as a post with a hounds tenacity and ability to ignore it’s owner.
I am currently held captive by a rescued Rat Terrier. The Stockholm syndrome is fully operational!
My babies are on the list. I wish I could say yay, but usually the dogs on these lists are overbred and the breed suffers. I've seen it with GSDs, Cockers, Boxers, etc. It's unfortunate.
