Delaware's top dog in 2007? Make it a retriever, a Labrador retriever. That's Karen and Pete Potocki, of Bear, with their dogs Duke, a Lab, and Lucky, a terrier mix in May at Glasgow Park in a photo taken by Matthew Jonas.
Each year, the American Kennel Club comes out with the top dog breeds for the country, and also by state and city. I thought Delaware's top spot would go to a retriever, but thought it would be the golden, not the Lab.
Anything on the list surprise you? Delawareans love their pugs (a personal fave) and Pomeranians more than they do in the rest of the country. America as a whole has a bigger thing for shih tzu and bulldogs (first time on the top 10 for this great looking dog) than we do here.
If you have a dog on the Delaware list, e-mail a photo to me at pets@delawareonline.com and I'll post it here or in a photo gallery. Include your name and which city you live in and the dog's name.

I have a cute Japanese Chin and I very rarely see them in Delaware!
Personally, we are partial to the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. Research this....
I have a Japanese chin also, boy they sure are cute. I also have a Mix of a great dog part golden and greyhound he is a big boy!! They look like the odd couple but I love them dearly!
Boxers are like potato chips...You can't have just one! Both of my boys love to ride in the car and watch out the windows.
On another note, Beagles are the most annoying dog breeds out there. Their bark is enough to make you stab your ears.
