NEW YORK—The most popular dog in the United States and New York City? The Labrador Retriever.

The lab has been the most popular dog in the nation for 22 years, but only this year rose from second to first in New York City, edging out the Yorkshire Terrier.

Overall, bigger dogs are more popular, a move that began in the middle of the ‘90s when the Poodle’s 22-year reign ended and the lab’s ascendance began.
