The
American Kennel Club (AKC) released its annual list of top dog breeds and the
results are the exact same as 2012. The top dog once again is the Labrador Retriever-
holding its title for 23 years. Pets Best Insurance Services, LLC (Pets Best) -
a leading pet insurance agency in the United States- also released a list of
top dog and cat breeds of 2013. The results differ slightly from the AKC but
their database includes mixed breeds and Pit Bulls.
The Labrador
Retriever may have the number one spot but these other repeat offenders are
beloved as well. These are the AKC top 10 dog breeds of 2013. PLUS at the bottom of the page view the
Pets Best list of top dogs and top cats of 2013.

This month's featured feline is larger than life
The Maine Coon is one of the largest breeds of domestic cat with some recorded as weighing up to 19 pounds. With its Lynx like ears and lion-like mane this feline looks more like an animal of the wild than a house pet but its temperament couldn’t be tamer - this gentle giant possesses above average intelligence and is very calm and mellow. The breed has been gaining popularity since it was first entered in a cat show in May of 1895.
