At least that's what people say on the website: PicktheBestDog.com
Jack Russel Terriers and Beagles seem to be sparring for the most popular dog among the smaller breeds on that site. Personally I like wolf hybrids but from experience I know they are quite a bit too hard to handle for most pet owners so I don't recommend them to others. |

How weird! Labs are way on the top! I always thought that golden retrievers were moer popular than labs for some reason....
Plus, I can't believe Australian shepherds aren't on the llist! |

I find Jack Russles more popular for some reason... or it may be just the fact I find them cute.
