1.Labrador Retrievers

Hall said to the AKC. "It personifies the definition of versatility -- hunting, showing, family, dock diving, tracking, obedience. It's as American as baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie."

2.German Shepherds

These trusted dogs often serve as police dogs or service dogs since they're incredibly loyal to their main caregivers.

3.Golden Retrievers

This friendly, intelligent breed is most likely to be the film mainstay of the breed, with the leading roles on Full House, Air Bud, and Homeward Bound.

4.French Bulldogs

Frenchies are big on the inside but require little exercise. So it's no wonder that the large-eared dogs are the most popular choice for New York, San Francisco and Miami according to The AKC has announced.

5.Bulldogs

A presidential pick, both Calvin Coolidge and Warren Harding owned these dignified, courageous canines.
