Methodology
Forbes surveyed 10,000 dog owners from across the country (200 in each state) who took an online survey. Data was collected from Sept. 21 to Oct. 13.
The survey participants selected their favorite dog breeds based on a list of the 25 most popular dog breeds from the American Kennel Club.
The dog owners were asked why they chose a particular breed as their favorite. Forbes said 52% of dog owners choose said breed based on currently or formerly owning it.
