What Factors Drive Dog Breed Popularity?
Election polls give us insight into what issues matter most to voters, and dog breed polls can tell us what traits people are looking for in a canine companion. Some of the top considerations are:
- Temperament: Just as voters want a reliable leader, dog owners look for breeds with steady, friendly temperaments.
