We checked search volumes for each of the more than 400 existing dog breeds listed on Wikipedia’s list of dog breeds using Keywords explorer at ahrefs.com. The 159 countries included in this article are the ones for which ahrefs.com returned enough data to show a clear preference for a breed. For 18 of the countries, two dog breeds shared the top spot — in these cases, we settled the tie using Google Trends.
