It depends on the country and the time, but there are dog breeds that are present in most of the lists that are made in the world. Today, the first place is probably occupied by the Labrador Retriever, a native Newfoundland variety that tends to obesity and is characterized by its good character and sociability. Something that cockers spaniels sometimes fail to do, which have lost their presence in Spain (and that only in our country there are 5.4 million owned dogs) but are still in high demand in most of the planet.
Another classic is the German Shepherd , a breed created in 1899. A few decades earlier, in 1850, the Golden Retriever was developed in Scotland, with a silhouette similar to the Labrador but with longer hair. Intelligent and friendly, he continues to expand his popularity around the world, disputing human favors to the Yorkshire Terrier, a breed resulting from three types of dogs that brought Scottish emigrants to the English factories of the time of the Industrial Revolution.
The boxer is another highly regarded dog. Also created in the 19th century, it was used as a war dog during the two great world conflicts of the 20th century.
The dogs of the celebrities
But to know the canine fashion trends, it is best to look at the celebrities walking with their pets. For example, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears have a Chihuahua. Jim Carrey and Anne Hathaway don’t leave home without their Labrador. Jennifer Lopez is from a pit bull terrier; Charlize Theron, from cocker spaniel; and Rihanna, from Maltese. Will Smith owns four Rottweilers, Enrique Iglesias a German shepherd, and Iker Casillas and Sara Carbonero, a golden retriever.
