TL;DR

The French bulldog has become the most popular dog breed in the US, overtaking the Labrador retriever, which held the top spot for 31 years, according to the American Kennel Club. Despite their popularity, French bulldogs are prone to health issues due to their shortened skulls and snouts. The breed's charming and adaptable nature has boosted demand among families and single people living in homes both large and small. The AKC has the world's largest registry of purebred dogs, which it uses to come up with the annual rankings.
