These are the most popular dog breeds in Colorado

Dogs aren't just pets, but family members. A new report is studying the 25 most popular dog breeds in the U.S.

COLORADO, USA — A new report has determined the most popular dog breeds across the United States.

U.S. News & World Report said it analyzed 811,798 data points from a third-party pet insurance industry partner to determine the most popular dog breeds by state.

The report found the Chihuahua is the most popular dog breed in 21 states and the Golden Retriever is a favorite in 14 states, including Colorado.

Golden Retriever was followed in the hearts of Coloradans by the Chihuahua, Goldendoodle, German Shepard, and French Bulldog, according to U.S. News & World Report.

The report said that although there are a variety of dog breeds in its rankings, there are some commonalities, including three Labrador Retriever color combinations (black, yellow, chocolate) in the top 25.
