(WXYZ) — The Rottweiler has debuted as the top canine in Detroit, according to a ranking from the American Kennel Club.
AKC ranks the most popular dog breeds in the country.
“I’m excited to see the Rottweiler holding the top spot in this city for a change,” AKC Executive Secretary Gina DiNardo said in a press release. “Rottweilers are naturally playful, gentle and loving to their families. Their calm and confident temperament makes them a great companion to many. But when necessary, they also make a good guard dog.”
Detroit’s top 5 breeds for 2020 are:
1. Rottweiler
2. French Bulldog
3. German Shepherd Dog
4. Golden Retriever
5. Bulldog
AKC says registration data was pulled from Detroit zip codes.
