The French Bulldog has overtaken the Labrador Retriever as America’s favorite dog breed, according to the American Kennel Club.
The Frenchie’s popularity has surged in recent years, with over 108,000 registrations in 2022.
Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Lady Gaga have helped boost the breed’s profile.
However, the French Bulldog’s rise is not without controversy, as they are prone to health issues due to their breeding.
The Associated Press revealed the breed’s popularity is sharpening debate over whether there’s anything healthy about propagating dogs prone to breathing, spinal, eye, and skin conditions.
