The full list of favorite dog breeds by country

• Methodology

  We checked search volumes for each of the more than 400 existing dog breeds listed on Wikipedia’s list of dog breeds using Keyword Tool at keywordtool.io. The 161 countries included in this article are the ones for which keywordtool.io returned enough data to show a clear preference for a breed. For 19 of the countries, two dog breeds shared the top spot — in these cases, we settled the tie using Google Trends.

  In some cases, what appeared to be a country’s most popular breed was actually highly searched because it shared a company or brand name of something else in that country. In these situations, we analyzed searches against Google Trends to calculate numbers for that specific dog breed.
