Listed as "always unique," the mixed breed ranked as the most popular dog breed in the nation followed by the Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and Goldendoodle.
Looking at the “pandemic puppy” boom, the study found that 67% of dog owners said they welcomed a dog into their family in the past year during the pandemic.
Rover also surveyed 1,000 U.S. dog parents to determine key factors for getting a dog, which included snuggling (60%), a breed that would get along with other pets (54%), and a highly intelligent breed (51%).
