Remember that our brackets were divided by weight, so dogs were compared with similar-sized dogs up to the Final Four. The top eight listed above, therefore, have two dogs from each weight class. If all the dogs were grouped together and ranked, the results would be different.
Interestingly enough, the American Kennel Club just announced THIS WEEK their list of most popular dog breeds for 2018. Here is their top 8:
#1: Labrador Retriever
#2: German Shepherd
