With this in mind, Dog Advisory Council experts determined which breeds are top dogs in each state. Using the American Kennel Club‘s most popular breeds of 2022 list, the experts gathered Google search volume data to discover the top five most popular dogs in each US state.

The top five most popular dog breeds in Florida are:

1. Cane Corso – 90,500 monthly Google searches

2. French Bulldog – 74,000 monthly Google searches

3. Shiba Inu – 60,500 monthly Google searches

The Cane Corso is the most Googled dog breed in 46 US states, including District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Idaho, and Kentucky. There are a massive 90,500 estimated Google searches for the breed per month in Florida. Cane Corsos are somewhat intimidating in appearance, with a large head and rippling muscles beneath their short dark coats.

Despite this harsh exterior, Cane Corsos are affectionate with their family and eager to please them.

Dr. Lizzie Youens, a veterinary surgeon, weighed in on the findings.

“This interesting research reveals huge interest in the Cane Corso breed. This striking breed has been rising in popularity across the US ever since it was first recognized as a breed by the American Kennel Club in 2010. Loyal and loving, Cane Corsos can make excellent pets. However, they are large, intelligent, and very active dogs who need an experienced owner with the time to dedicate to training and exercise. These powerful dogs can weigh more than 100 pounds and can be highly assertive, so they are recommended for households with older children only if in a family setting,” she said.
