The 20 Most Owned Dog Breeds of 2017
3. Golden Retriever
The Golden Retriever was bred distinctly for retrieving water fowl during a hunt, but over the years, they migrated more into household pets due to their beautiful features and personalities. These are very good natured dogs that are loyal to their owner and have a big desire to please. They love children and are very patient and gentle with them, which makes them very good family pets. Golden Retrievers are also seen in other job-related areas, such as tracking, therapy dogs, narcotics, among other areas. These have always been a very popular dog and are very commonly owned by both family and military and police forces.
