AKC Museum of The Dog Announces Upcoming Exhibit, “Top Dogs”
New York, NY – Number one in our hearts! The AKC Museum of the Dog is pleased to announce its next exhibit. “Top Dogs” celebrates the American Kennel Club’s ten most popular breeds. This exhibit will open May 5th 2021 and will run through August 29th 2021.
The exhibition takes a close look at the top ten most popular breeds, examines their histories, and speculates what exactly about them captures the hearts and minds of so many Americans.
The breeds featured in the exhibition include the Labrador Retriever, French Bulldog, German Shepherd Dog, Golden Retriever, Bulldog, Poodle, Beagle, Rottweiler, German Shorthaired Pointer, and Dachshund. Some of the breeds are veterans of the most popular list, like the Labrador Retriever that’s been the most popular breed for the last three decades; while others have grown over the years, like the French Bulldog that has secured the number two spot for the first time ever.
“There’s a reason these breeds have consistently remained popular for many years,” said Executive Director Alan Fausel. “Whether it’s their temperament, their stamina, or companionship, they’ve stood the test of time. In the same way that music and fashion trends change over time, it’s always nice to see what breeds become popular with the next generation of dog lovers.”
A free virtual tour of the exhibit will also be available on the Museum’s website shortly after the exhibit’s opening. Those who wish to view the exhibit in person can do so at 101 Park Avenue in New York City, while adhering to all COVID-19 and social distancing protocols.
