Here is a list of ALL AKC Breeds by Registry Numbers. Note AKC is not the only registry in town. UKC is gaining members as AKC is loosing them. When John Q. Public discovers that UKC is a good registry expect more and more breeders to go for at least dual registry.

Here is page 2 of PetPlace BTW I realllly like that site. Run by a Vet. Has some good advice on adopting a dog, housetraining, etc. Great resource to pull from.
I must admit data entry on correct verticals spacing somewhat of a challenge when going from subheads to normal. I managed thru lots of iterations getting the spacing right on Scottish Terriers.

Another aside... I feel really sorry for the Top Ten in Popularities. Poor Labs are suffering of some pretty bad hereditary and deformiities now that there are so many breeders out there. Yorkies are getting in major trouble. One of the A-1 Terriers has Yorkies and is highly involved in rescue. She cries for them. They are really suffering for their popularity.

In the reverse dogs not in much numbers suffer because their gene pool is depressed by not enough diversiity. Take our poor Scotties. Note too that the number AKC bases their most populars are from litter registries. Scotties for instance are highly monopolized by a few of conformaition breeders who control limited registration and keep full registration for their dogs or their buddies dogs. So the number is really deceptive. Scotties in the main sadly are difficult for us regular type folks to locate.

Scotties again a good for instance. Puppy litters are registered but try finding one!

42. Scottish Terriers

My very close friends and I try our best to get some Scottish Terriers out to families where they will be cherished, beloveds.
Scotties are wonderful dogs. but unfortunately suffer from some pretty horrible conditions and hereitary tendencies because
they are so monopolized. Some areas don't even have more than a handful. Knoxville is an example. Even places like NYC
diffiicult to find. Most people are on waiting lists over 2 years long for their pups. There are few rescues out there either.
Unfortunately this creates a horrible problem of people stealing Scotties even out of backyards!

Some people will do anything to get breeding stock or sell the dogs for "rescue" for big bucks. Scotties are the number 2 dogs stolen after pitty types.
Sad world sometimes.

That is why I really cherish people who truly love their dogs. 'Deservidly dogs are treated as family members in these fortunate homes.

Enough preachin' just a real pet peeve as it were. I cry for our dear Scotties. May the breed turn around!

Here's an interesting Top Breeds Link

Dog Breed Facts
http://www.dog-breed-facts.com/dog-grooming.html

Top 10 Toy Dog Breeds
The Toy Group includes most of the very small and miniature lap dogs and apartment-sized companion dog breeds. Toy dogs play a critical role in the lives of people that live alone and their presence can have beneficial effects on the health of the sick, the elderly and the housebound. Toys are popular companion dogs for people living in cities and adapt well to apartment life.

Top 10 Terrier Dog Breeds
The Terrier Group includes those small but lively terrier breeds that were developed (mainly in Great Britain) to hunt small burrowing animals such as badgers, foxes, otters, rabbits and rats.

Top 10 Hound Dog Breeds
The Hound Group includes dog breeds with a wonderful sense of smell and/or great athleticism. These breeds were developed to follow game either by sight or by smell.

Top 10 Sporting Dog Breeds
The Sporting Group includes pointers, setters, retrievers and many spaniels. This group of fairly active dogs is composed of a wide variety of breeds, which were developed to aid hunters by finding, flushing out and retrieving game. Members of this group all need a fair amount of exercise but you don’t have to be a hunter to own one of these dogs.
