French bulldogs ousted Labrador retrievers from the top spot after a record 31 years.
The dogs have their critics, who say they have health issues and have been bred more for looks than welfare.
“They’re comical, friendly, loving little dogs,” says French Bull Dog Club of America spokesperson Patty Sosa.
The British Veterinary Association has said it “strongly recommends” against buying flat-faced dogs.
A new breathing test made its U.S. debut on Frenchies, bulldogs and pugs at a show in January.
The AKC notes that its Canine Health Foundation has donated $67 million since 1990 for research and education on many breeds.
