AKC released its annual “Most Popular Dog Breeds” list this week, with the Labrador Retriever topping the charts once again. The news was announced live on Good Morning America, with coverage appearing on TODAY.com, CBS News, the New York Post, Reuters, and hundreds of other publications nationwide.

Check out the announcement.

The Greenville Kennel Club donated $7,500 to the Greenville, South Carolina Sheriff's K9 Unit to help them purchase a new K9 Officer.

Will you be competing at the AKC Rally National Championship, AKC National Agility Championship or AKC National Obedience Championship next month? Would you like to promote the involvement of your club members in these events? Let us know at communications@akc.org and we’ll send you a press release template to fill out and share with your local media.

Attention Parent Clubs: If your club actively rescues dogs, we encourage you to apply for the AKC Humane Fund’s grant. This program reimburses breed rescue programs for some of the expenses associated with rehoming dogs, including veterinary care and supplies. If your Parent Club does not perform rescue services and wishes to recommend an organization that does so on behalf of your breed, please encourage them to apply. (A letter of referral from the parent club on behalf of the applicant is required.) To apply, visit www.akchumanefund.org.
