dogs most popular breeds
Why is German Shepherd the most popular breed of dog?
Almost everyone i know has a german shepherd. When i walk my dog or take him out i see several german shepherds being walked.
I have newfoundland dog, and it is very rare that i have seen anyone having a landseer newfoundland.
So i’m just curious — what makes german shepherd so popular and newfoundland kind of unpopular?
Publicity.
Cop dogs are just freaking cool.
Also,
German Shepards are supposed to be a “all purpose” sort of dog. Good as pets, guards, police dogs, agility, tracking. You name it, GS’s excel at it. (well, generally)
Newfies are known for their layed back attitudes and strength, but they aren’t as many of them around for people to see and get to know.
