Mixed: Mixed dog breeds, known as mutts or hybrids, are the most popular dog breeds. These pups have a variety of lineages, but since they are a mix of breeds, they tend to have random personalities.
Labrador Retriever: These dogs come in second place. They are full of energy and have a passion for water activities.
Goldendoodle: The Goldendoodles are a mix of Golden Retrievers and Poodles. These cuties are known for their outgoing nature, intelligence and friendly personalities.

Chihuahua: These dogs may be small but have fierce and playful personalities.
French Bulldog: The French Bulldogs have bat-like ears and boxy faces that are affectionate and playful.
