<p>The rankings do not include mixed breeds or popular &ldquo;designer&rdquo; hybrids, such as Labradoodles, since the American Kennel Club recognizes just 200 dog breeds.</p>

<p>French Bulldogs are a favorite among celebrities, including Reese Witherspoon and Megan Thee Stallion.</p>

<p>And while the breed continues to grow in popularity, the American Kennel Club says it&rsquo;s essential to do your research before committing to it.</p>

<p>According to a 2021 study published in&nbsp;<a href="https://cgejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40575-021-00112-3" target="_blank">Canine Medicine and Genetics</a>, French Bulldogs have a higher chance of being diagnosed with 20 common disorders compared to other breeds, like heatstroke and respiratory issues, due to their flat faces.</p>

<p>The Labrador Retriever ranked second on the list. The longtime U.S. favorite is widely known as a companion dog and can be trained as a guide or assistance dog.</p>

<p>The dog breed that rounded out the top three was Golden Retrievers. According to the American Kennel Club, it is a great breed to serve as a guide for the blind and enjoys obedience and other competitive events.</p>
