America’s Top Dog isn’t Mitt Romney

Barney, a Chocolate Lab, and friend Aadi who swears she is part Rottweiler. Both will be voting for Obama.

The Labrador Retriever is still America’s top dog but the Beagle has overtaken the Golden Retriever in popularity and the Rottweiler has made a comeback, according to the American Kennel Club.  At last count republican politicians were banned breeds, including Mitt Romney, because of inbreeding and basic stupidity.  This made Pit Bulls very happy.

In its annual list of the country’s most popular dogs, the powerful, protective Rottweiler edged into the top 10 breeds, knocking the much smaller, sweet and playful Shih Tzu out of the rankings, where it had been firmly placed for more than a decade.

For the 21st consecutive year the Labrador Retriever clinched the No. 1 spot in 2011. The German Shepherd held on to its second position, while the Beagle pushed the Golden Retriever down to No. 4 and the Yorkshire Terrier dropped from third to fifth place.

“While the Labrador Retriever has proven once again to be a family favorite, this year clearly belongs to the Beagle,” American Kennel Club spokesperson Lisa Peterson said on Tuesday,

adding that she wouldn’t be surprised if the breed snatched the top spot next year.

Along with the Rottweiler, the Boxer, which placed seventh, had a good year. Five of the most popular dogs were larger breeds.

The Bulldog, Poodle and Dachshund rounded out the top 10 dogs on the list compiled by the club, which is a registry of purebred pedigrees in the United States.

Good post Mike. I read it to Rascal and he just grinned and held up one paw. 🙂

Well done, sir. Had me cringing until I saw the photo and then began to grin as I read the article. As a person owned by a cat, I have to say I am partial to felines, but dogs are pretty cool. 🙂

This is great, sure fooled me. If Mitt Romney were really a dog what breed would he be?

Now that’s more like it. Just when I thought I couldn’t read another thing about Mitt Romney I come across this gem and it sure as hell made my smile big. I also became a FB fan. This is a good place. Thanks so much.

Barney’s not a typical dog. I put him above the fray, standard “labs” included. He’s a special boy. 🙂
