Beagles are especially popular in states with a lot of hunting. The data is taken from published\u00a0 reports of the American Kennel Club (AKC) as of 2017, the most recent I found online. There are other sources with very different results based on other sources such as the American Veterinary Association, queries in dog breeder forums, and so on. Of course the vast majority of dogs are mixed breeds or &#8220;mutts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4446 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/breeds-421x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/breeds-421x300.png 421w, https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/breeds-1024x729.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/breeds-768x547.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/breeds-1536x1093.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/breeds-2048x1458.png 2048w, https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/breeds-624x444.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The legend font is a bit small so here is what it says:<\/p>\n<pre>[Green]  Beagle\r\n[Gray]   Bulldog\r\n[Orange] French Bulldog\r\n[Blue]   Golden Retriever\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The map below shows you which dog breeds are popular in which states.
