As of April, England was the backdrop to the most expecting Duchess of Cambridge. As of May 2nd, British royalty has a precious new heir. Prince William and Princess Catherine (or simply Will and Kate) have an impressive family - an adorable toddler in the name of George, a bundle of love newly named Charlotte, and their royal pup Lupo.
Puppy Love reflects dog breeds from around the world and throughout history. In this post, I thought I would reflect breeds named most popular in England - and the UK overall - in 2015. In this way, England remains as a national spotlight.
On January 18, 2015, The Daily Mail reported that the Labrador Retriever is the most popular breed in England, as well as Wales and Scotland. The Jack Russell Terrier was listed in second place. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier was listed in third place.
In the article, The Daily Mail likewise noted that "physical space also dictates the breed." (The Daily Mail) For example, Dachshunds are common in London because they are a smaller breed fit for more confined neighborhoods. In larger terrain, Border Collies are common because of their larger size.
Lupo, an English Cocker Spaniel, may be "First Dog" in Will and Kate's royal household. However, the Labrador Retriever reigns "Top Dog" worldwide.
