American households love their loyal, furry, canine companions.
But, out of all 201 dog breeds currently recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC), which ranks the highest in the state of Maryland?
A new study conducted by pet nutrition experts at PetLab has revealed each state’s most favored dog breed throughout the United States.
The study analyzed over 200 AKC-recognized dog breeds alongside keywords such as “buy” and “adopt” through Google’s Keyword Planner to produce a ranking for each state’s most searched-for breed over the past 12 months.
“Whether people are looking to adopt, foster, buy or just browse through cute pictures online of dogs, it is clear to see the U.S. is obsessed with our furry friends,” said PetLab.
