Stephen: French bulldog unseats Labrador retriever as most popular dog breed

The French bulldog is the new most popular purebred dog, the American Kennel Club announced yesterday. The pint-sized pug pulled ahead of the Labrador retriever, who reigned as America’s favorite for 31 consecutive years.  Runner-ups include golden retrievers, German shepherds and poodles. The rankings are determined by the Kennel Club’s registry of purebred dogs.
