Guessed What. Just Retrievers

Got this from petplace.com and also available at AKC Gazette.

America loves those labs! For the 13th year in a row, the Labrador retriever is America’s favorite purebred, according to registration numbers tallied by the American Kennel Club.

And, as in past years, the Labrador far outstrips the second-most favorite – the golden retriever. The 2002 list is almost identical to the 2001 list. All the same breeds made the top 10, but four switched positions. The beagle moved into fourth place, switching positions with the dachshund, and the boxer moved into seventh place, taking the poodle’s spot.

“It’s no surprise that the Labrador retriever is number one again” said David Frei, spokesperson for the AKC. “They are wonderful family dogs – smart, loyal, great temperaments – and good at many things including showing, obedience and hunting, and they also often work as service dogs.”

The Top 10 Breeds of 2002 are:

1. Labrador retrievers 154,616
2. Golden retrievers 56,124
3. German shepherds 46,963
4. Beagles 44,610
5. Dachshunds 42,571
6. Yorkshire terriers 37,277
7. Boxers 34,340
8. Poodles 33,917
9. Chihuahuas 28,466
10. Shih Tzus 28,294

The AKC recognizes dogs in seven categories: sporting, hound, working, terrier, toy, non-sporting and herding. The largest breed registration in each group is as follows:

  • Sporting – Labrador retriever
  • Hound – beagle
  • Working – boxers
  • Terrier – miniature schnauzer
  • Toy – Yorkshire terrier
  • Non-sporting – poodles
  • Herding – German shepherd

    At the other end of the spectrum, the otterhound came in last with just 17 registrations. Four other least-registered breeds are: the harrier, the English foxhound, the Ibizan hound and the Finnish spitz. But the low registration counts doesn’t detract from these breeds qualities, Frei explained.

    “It’s important to remember that each of the 150 breeds recognized by the AKC has a distinct personality and characteristics that make them uniquely suited for particular lifestyles and family settings,” he said. “With the incredible diversity of purebred dogs, there is a right dog for everyone.”

    The total number of purebred registrations has dropped for the second year in a row. Last year they fell by almost 9 percent. This year, they dropped by 11 percent. Frei said contributing factors may be litter sizes, which have been smaller in recent years, and increased inspections by the AKC to verify applications. Another factor may be longevity. “Dogs are living longer, thanks to better veterinary medicine, food and care,” Frei said.

    A complete listing of registration statistics is available in the February 2003 issue of the AKC Gazette.

    Re: [boon] Guessed What. Just Retrievers

    dear all,

    wow. lab owners are three times more than the goldens. that's a BIG gap. both breeds have close resemblance in character, temperament and physical appearance.

    i wonder why the big gap. wonder is it because of the golden's frequent shedding? or is it that labs are indeed the sweetest angels among all breeds :D ? anyone kept both goldens and labs before? would love to know if there's any difference between the two breeds.

    hmm. wonder which is the most favourite purebred in Malaysia? GSDs? labs? Pugs? Goldens?

    hi Hunter,

    I think Lab sheds more often than GR Unsure .. Rex , basically sheds everyday! (well..depends on quantity).. U can easily pluck the fur from the Lab..

    The favourite purebred in M'sia is Rotti!!

    hi Hunter,

    Can't remember the 2nd spot though..

    The sheding ..well it does not depend on whether it's long or short fur...

    As I know, dalmation also sheds a lot... even shorter fur than labby..

    hi,

    oh? so long/short fur doesn't actually mean more/less shedding. a new info i've learnt, as everyone tend to assume that doggies with shorter fur are less prone to shed!

    I guess it could be due to long-haired dog could hold up their shedded hair on body while short-haired dog has no choice but shed hairs everywhere that WE could really spot itWink

    Hi All,

    Looks like Bonney is the only lab shed very little. SO far, she shed when she was 4 months old and the second time is like CNY. But not much. Donno y leh, how come Nous and Rex shed so much ?

    Re: [All] Guessed What. Just Retrievers

    dear all,

    well. so it's concluded that long hair doggies doesn't necessarily shed more than the shorter hair doggies. bahahaha.

    maybe the amount of sheding is also infected by the type of food the dog is consuming... perhaps the shampoo he/she is using... just like humans i guess, some people tend to loose lots of hair after bathing - while some don't.

    ps : hey, thought you keep goldens all this while. so you keep cocker spaniels? (the brown doggie in your photo actually looks like a golden :D ).

    Re: [strawhoney] Guessed What. Just Retrievers

    I see a lot of labs as service dogs in Seattle too. There is a program where you can volunteer to look after a puppy until it has to go for training. Then the puppies who passed the rigorous training and tests are picked to become service dogs. That is why they are very calm and I think you are not supposed to pet them. My milo can never be one though, he is too hyper.

    Re: [KEIDOU] Guessed What. Just Retrievers

    hi keidou,

    hmm, a little explanation has to be made here...First, I don't live in KL...sorry man..Unimpressedso the shop is gonna be in san francisco...however, if you are here in US and coming to sf, let me know...i can bring you to our small shop...Smilewe sell RC stuff and I am planning to sell doggie stuff one day..but not now...it's entirely on my interest...and my love for all the dogs in the world...Wink just a small space in the shop to sell some items..exclusive items...maybe clothing...Angelicahh...dream dream dream....hehe..

    as for your idea, it's fun to begin with and the idea is new...actually here in the US, dogs can go anywhere they wan..I even brought my dog to bloomingdale's, a high line shopping mall...as long as they don't have the NO PETS sticker, I brave in..hehehehe...dogs are given the same freedom like human being..some time ago, a member told us about setting up a resort...you?or someone else?that's a good idea I have to say...dogs in malaysia they don't have much freedom cuz afterall, we are in a muslim country...but my guess, as time goes by, ppl literally will accept that dogs are part of us too...kudos to anyone that wanna break the ice first...

    I love dogs...more and more after coming here...Cool

    talk to you again....have a good one!!Wink

    Re: [strawhoney] Guessed What. Just Retrievers

    hi,

    oh. so it's a hobby shop, not a pet shop la.. :|... gee, i was hoping u said yes, so u could sell me some stuffs at cheap price muhahahaha :))

    anyway, a pet friendly shop that sells exclusive items for doggies (but actually is a hobby shop..) should be a nice place to hang around. i'm sure it'll be great. and you'll probably get rich if ur bf come open it here in malaysia :))

    hi,

    heh heh. i'd love to get a tux for my boy to where for the next gathering. make sure the keyword here is "cheap and nice".

    spa, massages, boarding, nice food would be a great idea. but pub? i am a good girl and hunter is a good boy. we haven't been to one, hehee... it'd be a....umm..... refreshing + creative idea, haha.
