L.A. loves the bulldog
row, the bulldog reigned as the most popular breed among Los Angeles residents in 2010."Los Angeles has spoken and the bulldog is here to stay," Lisa Peterson of the American Kennel Association said. "While the bulldog is slowly moving up the ranks nationally, L.A. has made the breed its top dog for the second year in a row, trending ahead of the rest of the country."
Nationally, the Labrador retriever maintained its first-place spot for the 20th consecutive year, followed by the German shepherd, Yorkshire terrier, beagle and golden retriever.
The bulldog ranked sixth -- up from 21st place in 2009 -- on the national list.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
