For the first time in about 30 years, Americans have a new favorite kind of dog, the American Kennel Club (AKC) says.
The organization announced this week that the French bulldog became the most popular purebred dog in the United States last year.
The powerful dog with the sleepy expression on its face edged out the Labrador retriever breed for the top position.
The Lab had been the most popular breed for a record 31 years.
Patty Sosa is the spokesperson for the French Bull Dog Club of America.
She said, "They're comical, friendly, loving little dogs."
