You’ll find all kinds of dogs in the state of Massachusetts, but there are a few favorites that pop up again and again. These are the most popular dog breeds in Massachusetts. This is according to a poll by The American Kennel Club.

Chihuahua
The Chihuahua is a fairly small breed that’s very good with children. Plus they are tiny and perfect for some of the cozier nooks that us Bay-Staters inhabit.
Poodle

#2 Golden Retriever
An American classic for a reason. They are smart, sweet, well behaved and great with kids and families.
#1 Labrador Retriever
The Labrador Retriever is a very popular sporting dog that excels at many different activities. It’s an extremely friendly breed, making it a great choice for people who are new to raising dogs. No wonder it’s the #1 choice for dog lovers in Massachusetts!
