The French bulldog has replaced the Labrador retriever as America's favourite purebred dog in 2023, according to the American Kennel Club.

The Kennel Club's top show dog was a short-faced, sturdy, compact dog.

AKC says the dog is playful, friendly, and affectionate. They adapt well and like kids.

Due to their short coats, Frenchies are low-maintenance pets. They rarely shed. Due to their size, apartment dwellers love them.
