There have been some interesting shifts up and down on this year’s list. For instance, the Yorkshire Terrier has moved up a couple spots and the Bulldog has dropped a few. No surprise, Aussies and Cavaliers make it into the Top 15. Miniature American Shepherds (mini Aussies) are also rising quickly. Always, when a dog breed becomes popular, it’s super important to find reputable breeders who have dogs with good health.
