When it comes to man's best friend, San Antonians have plenty of favorite canine companions. A recent report from U.S. News & World Report analyzed dog breed data from across the United States to determine the most popular pups in 25 major cities.

The findings revealed that in the Alamo City, Labrador Retrievers (Yellow) take the top spot as the most beloved breed. These friendly, energetic dogs with their signature yellow fur edged out other fan favorites like Pugs, French Bulldogs, Chihuahuas, and German Shepherds that rounded out San Antonio's top 5.

While small dogs like the Chihuahua and French Bulldog rank as the #1 and #2 most popular breeds nationwide, San Antonians seem to prefer a larger canine companion in the family-friendly Labrador Retriever. The Golden Retriever, another bigger dog breed, came in at #3 most popular across the U.S.

San Antonio's pup preferences align with the city's family-centric culture and plentiful outdoor spaces perfect for an active dog. Labrador Retrievers are known for their outgoing personalities, versatility, and ability to serve as great companions for households with kids.

The findings highlight how dog breed trends can vary from city to city based on local lifestyles and demographics. While apartment-dwellers in denser cities may opt for smaller breeds, San Antonians still gravitate towards the classic, energetic dog breeds perfect for playtime at the park or hiking trails.

As one of the nation's biggest military cities, it's also possible that San Antonio's love for Labrador Retrievers is influenced by their frequent use as service and working dogs.

As the owner of a cute little pug- I'm glad they came in second most popular in San Antonio! What do you think?
