It’s no surprise that we LOVE our canine companions. There are just too many reasons why we find them incredibly special and wonderful. But does this love depend on the type of breed they are? Are there certain personality traits that help us to appreciate our pooch more than others? Some dogs are easy to train, great around children and adventure buffs. Is this what you love about your dog? We do not discriminate, of course, but there are some breeds that are preferred more than others.

Without further ado, below is the list of top 20 most popular dog breeds in America, according to the American Kennel Club.
