Fresh out of a federal election, it can feel like the country is more divided than ever, but thankfully there are still some things that can bring us (or at least some of us) — like the most popular dog breeds in Canada!
Dog food subscription service Kabo released a survey earlier this year in which they named the favourite dog breeds of 2,000 Canadians, and there's a clear winner when it comes to which is the goodest dog of all.
The Labrador Retriever stood muzzle and shoulder above the crowd, with a plurality of respondents in six provinces owning Labs: Alberta (10%), Saskatchewan (15%), Manitoba (14%), Ontario (14%), New Brunswick (14%) and Nova Scotia (17%).
However there is some room for differentiation. For instance, the survey said that most-owned breed in Quebec (at 14%) and Newfoundland and Labrador (10%) is the German Shepherd, while that honour is split in Prince Edward Island between the Shih Tzu and the Labrador Retriever (22%). British Columbia also went with a different choice, with 11% of respondents from the province saying that they own Golden Retriever!
According to the company — which only included answers about purebred dogs for "data clarity" purposes — the top 10 list of dog breeds includes Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Siberian Husky, Chihuahua, Shih Tzu, Poodle, Pitbull, Pug and Yorkshire Terrier.
