The favorite dog breeds of the French in 2021 - Toutoupourlechien

Exit the Staffie, hello the Golden Retriever

Since 2018 when the Australian Shepherd took first place in the ranking of favorite French breeds from the Belgian Shepherd, he remains the dog that the French prefer in 2021. Once again on the highest step of the podium, the Australian Shepherd recorded 20,449 registrations in the French Book of Origins (LOF) in 2021, compared to 16,782 registrations in 2020. With these 3,367 additional registrations, the Australian Shepherd therefore confirms its place as leader in the hearts of the French.

The surprise of this year 2021 is in 2th place in the ranking, now occupied by the Golden Retriever which recorded 14,444 registrations last year. He thus moved from fourth place in the ranking with 10,932 registrations to second, reversing his place with the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

In 3th place, we find again the Belgian Shepherd who still has 1398 additional registrations than in 2020.
