I'm only posting out of curiosity...and boredom.
What are the most popular breeds of dog in your area? What breeds/dogs do you see most on your walks?

Most popular around me are:
Shepard mixes, some are striped!(brindle?)
Goldens, lots of them are huge
Rotties, one's dog aggressive
Afghans, two nearby are big barkers
Collies, once I saw 5 on one walk
Tibetan Spaniels, some are such yappers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, cute!
German Shepards, new pup next door

Reply with a list!

In my city you see so few dogs out that they must be invisible, hence-ghost dogs.

Seriously, the typical labs and goldies. One area of town seems to be Westie World. Every time I visit that neighborhood I see Westies out and about.

Hmmm..

Deffinitly alot of Chihuahuas and dachsunds.
Alot of Chihuahua/dachsunds mixes too. Austrailian shephards are pretty popular too.

Other dogs in my area:

A pitbull-I think his name is Chance
A rat terrier- Her name is tootsie.
Some kink of poodle/terrier mix- name is lady
A Japanese Jindo
What appears to be a greyhound/Bordercollie mix
A Basenji/Austrailian Shephard mix
A german shephard
Theres also alot of other, but they all look like they have three or four different breeds of dog in them .

in my area the lab!

The most popular breed in my area is actually a designer mutt. Bichon Shih Tzu mixes... most from the same local puppy mill dubbed the "Pooch Palace"

For purebreds, you see a lot of golden retrievers and border collies around the neighbourhood. In the dog show world, we always have big entries for dobies, boxers, shetland sheepdogs, whippets, and standard poodles. Weird seeing I hardly ever see these breeds around town.

Pitt bull X are by far number one followed by chows and chow X.

thats a hard 1. id have 2 say..... MUTTS!!!!!! though i do have a goldie & i live by some german shepards

lets see...pits are by far the #1 dog around here.
1 dachsund
1 poodle
1 pom
1 sheltie
3 dobermans
1 rottie puppy
about 8 mutts
some jack russels
and countless pits...

round here there arnt many dogs, in the neighbourhood there are (not including mine)
1 jap chin
2 pugs
2 pit mix
1 german shep
2 shep mix
3 labs
1 golden
and about 2 mutts (unknown mixes)

(thats including about 4 city blocks)

if you count my house you add 1 cockerspaniel and 1 chihuahua

i meant to add, but you dont see any of them out much...its even rare to see them walking their dogs.

The most popular breed in my area is by far, the Pitbull. Every Sunday, a bunch of us meet at a small park in the area, and they all play together. There a couple regulars (like me ), but different people come almost every time. There's about twenty of us every week, and some bring there other dogs too. I started bringing Kitty and Zyon, as well. We used to have a lot of people that didn't like Pitbulls in our neighborhood, but I think this really helped people get the idea that Pitbulls have love to give, too. It's really wonderful to see a park full of playing Pitbulls.

Around here:

Pekeingese
Maltese
Shih Tzu
Jack Russell
Dobes/Rotties
Labs/goldens
Boxers
German shepherds
Westies and other small wirey terriers
Saw a couple Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers at the dog park...and a Newfoundland...
Mixes!

In my area there a lot of Chihuahuas, Labs, Goldens, A LOT of Yorkies, Greyhounds, and lots of different breeds from the hound group, cuz people like to hunt out here. I have a silky and everyone always mistakes him for a yorkie. Only one person I have talked to actually knows what a silky is......lol..~Lauren

around my area are:

Dalmations
border collies
labs
basset hounds
poodles(standard)
golden retrievers
and my fave a great dane called Heidi!!

Labs For Sure
Goldens
Pommeranians
Jack Russels
Bicon Frise
PoodleS
And Spaniels

I'd say..hmm...well theres SO many dogs in my area but common dogs I see at the dog park are goldies, pugs, boxers, labs and mutts.

I just want to say I think this a fun and interesting thread, I've always happened to notice how many people here in Southern Denmark have the same breeds of dogs.....

Lots of Labs (hunting is big here)
Danish Swedish Farmdog
Danish Chicken Dogs
German Wirehaired Pointer
Danish Chicken Dog (aka Danish Pointer)
Great Danes
French Bulldog
Border Collies
AmStaff (1 "breeder" in the area that I know of, but haven't really seen the dogs out anywhere)
Cairn Terriers (almost all the old people have them!)
German Shepherd
Beagles
Goldens
2 Aussies (mine and a friends, they are not common in Denmark, so we think it's so weird that the two of us ended up with them in the same town without knowing eachother first there's only about 5 breeders in the whole country)

But the most common have to be the hunting dogs..labs, pointers, beagles, etc. And then comes lap dogs/small dogs like cairn terriers and danish/Swedish farm dogs. Then the rest are scattered owned by a few people.

The popular dogs around here are thehunting/retrieving groups. Due to the sportsman climate.
Then it goes toward the herding and working types to go with the cattle business.
Then would be the toy / lap dog type with the retirees and city dwellers that are short on yard space..
I guess the ratio between the amount of purebred dogs and mixed would not differ that much...At least in my area

there are alot of golden retrevers around here.
-Abby
-Calvin
-Some ladys dog that i met on a walk with her golden retrever
-Some peoples dogs that keep getting loose and coming to our yard.
one is a pure golden and the other is a golden/mastf mix. (HUGE dogs!)

and some more that i have just seen around.

i must say labs are all over the place. i used to like them but now im just sick of them. you cant go on a walk without seeing one or a mix of one.

labs of course
a few goldens
some rescued greyhounds
cocker spaniel
rotties (ones dog agressive and loves people and the other isnt good with people other than its owners but loves dogs)
english setter
and so on...
