Labradors and golden retrievers are the most popular dog breeds among Boston’s downtown neighborhoods.

There are nearly 1,600 Labradors and 700 golden retrievers amid the 10,479 dogs registered citywide, according to recent numbers from Boston’s Animal Care and Control division.

Boston’s downtown neighborhoods, which care for 3,149 of the city’s registered dogs, are consistent with this trend, housing over 400 Labradors and more than 200 golden retrievers.

“Golden retrievers are famously known for having a good temper,” said Salome Monroig, a dog trainer with Boston K9 LLC and sales associate at the Fish & Bone pet supply store in the Back Bay. She noted that this trait makes them a favored choice for families or individuals who are new to dog ownership.

Speaking to the popularity of Labradors, Monroig said these dogs are friendly and energetic enough to keep up with owners who lead active lifestyles. “If their owners go for a run, they’ll bring their Lab with them,” she said.

Additionally, Monroig said that the unwavering loyalty of Labradors and golden retrievers make them common as service dogs, which may contribute to their demand in the city.

Andrew Arruda, manager of the North End’s Polkadog Bakery, added that these two breeds share the trait of being very non-aggressive toward both humans and animals.

“People living in the city want dogs that can behave around lots of other people and dogs,” he said.

Arruda was surprised that smaller dogs were not more favored among Bostonians. Based on the breeds that frequent his store’s location, he guessed that French bulldogs, Boston terriers and Yorkshire terriers would have been closer to the top of the list.

According to the data, Boston’s most popular breeds following Labradors and golden retrievers are, in order, chihuahuas, German shepherds, miniature poodles, Australian shepherds, shih tzus, Yorkshire terriers, pitbulls and then beagles.

Some downtown neighborhoods deviate from these citywide trends, such as the Back Bay choosing cavalier spaniels as their third most popular breed and Yorkshire terriers securing the number three spot in both Beacon Hill and the South End. However, these neighborhoods remain mostly consistent with rankings across all of Boston.

Alexys Rivera, spa manager at Onyva dog groomers in the Back Bay, said that she often has people come in with chihuahuas, golden retrievers and mixed-breed poodles, otherwise known as “doodles.”

“We mostly get doodle after doodle after doodle,” she said, signaling that these dogs are rising in popularity.

However, Rivera said she typically only sees one Labrador a week at Onyva. She explained that this is because they are low maintenance when it comes to grooming, perhaps another reason why they are such a popular breed among dog owners.
