The 20 Most Owned Dog Breeds of 2017
13. Great Dane
The gentle giant. That is the name that is often used to describe the Great Dane. These very large dogs are commonly owned by people who love the look and personality of these gorgeous canines. So stately, these are very athletic and agile dogs, despite their size. They are strong and muscular and make excellent watch dogs due to their size and big bark, which is also often a reason people choose a Great Dane for a pet. Great Danes love to be with you all the time. They often do not realize their own size and will try to crawl in your lap to snuggle on the couch without thinking twice. This very dedicated and loyal breed has always been a very popular breed and continues to be on the list of most commonly owned breeds.
