Dog Breed Popularity

The few Goldens I've been around were moderate sized I'd say, not too big to run anyhow. They were family dogs but just brilliant and would pick up a new trick in one evening. Lots of hair though lol

My 4 year old female has almost less hair than a lab. She picks up a few burrs in her tail, that's about it. Just MACHed her last weekend so she has multiple talents.
 
Dual titled labs are pretty rare.

What amuses me is hearing of people pay $3500+ for what were called mongrels in my youth.

The whole (fill in the blank) __________oodle or _________apoo thing.

Friend of mine has a wife that sells “registered” Cavapoos for $3500 each and has a long waiting list. Cavalier King Charles x Poodle. 😂
My thoughts exactly. The whole doodle thing is a scam to take folks' money.
 
I remember seeing goldens as kennel dogs on a few different kind of redneck properties I visited as a kid. At least I’m pretty sure.
 
I hunt with a guy who runs a Golden. It's the first time I've ever seen one in the field. It is a solid hunting dog. Oddly enough, it's never hunted waterfowl. Only chukar, pheasants, quail and grouse. It is equally talented on any of those birds and in all habitats. It does have a really unique method of grouse hunting. This dog can either see grouse fly into the top of a tree or smell them. So when this dog comes upon a tree with a grouse in it, she will start barking like a coon hound. Every time if you look hard enough there will be a grouse in that tree.

She is a BIG dog though (90 pounds) and 8 years old. I worry and wonder how long a dog that size can keep going?

Most people do not get a dog for hunting purposes. That's pretty obvious. In the top 20 most popular dog breeds, I would say 3 (maybe 4 if you include the beagle) are hunting breeds.

I've also never even heard of many of these breeds listed.
 
The first one I did not recognize is
78Biewer Terrier

next was
98Leonberger

But I like watching the Dog Show on TV.
