The dog is considered man’s best friend. From Great Danes to tiny Chihuahas, animals come in different shapes and have their own unique characteristics. Since every dog in Switzerland must be registered in Amicus, the national database for dogs, it is possible to determine exactly which breeds are particularly popular at the moment.
You can precisely follow the development of dog breeds according to the statistics of Identitas (2020).
one
crossbreed
By far the most popular dog breed in Switzerland is, and remains, the mixed breed, i.e. a cross between dogs of different breeds. They are considered particularly robust and are offered in all possible sizes.
2
chihuahuas
Even though it is the smallest dog breed in the world, it still has a big place in the hearts of Swiss. Paris Hilton isn’t the only one who speaks highly of mini dogs with strong personalities: Chihuahuas have been Switzerland’s second most popular dog for years.
3
Labrador
In third place is the Labrador, one of Switzerland’s most popular family dogs. They are known for their friendly, curious nature, love of water, and are one of the most popular dog breeds worldwide.
4
Yorkshire Terriers
This little ball of fur landed in fourth place. One reason for the Yorkshire Terrier’s popularity may be that it is not subject to severe seasonal shedding. The animals are also extremely self-confident, lively and intelligent.
This dog breed was first bred in Ireland to hunt rats and mice.
5
Jack Russell Terriers
In fifth place we find the Jack Russel Terrier. Small hunting dogs are active, lively and fearless and therefore need a lot of attention and activity.
6
French Bulldog
The French bulldog is the sixth most popular dog breed in Switzerland. These dogs are cute and brave, even if they are a bit of a troll, and they are becoming more and more popular. Unfortunately, like many dogs with short noses, they are often prone to breathing problems.
7
border collie
For a long time, Border Collies were kept almost exclusively as sheep herding dogs in the British Isles. Now they are also popular pets, but they need to be kept busy enough. Otherwise, smart animals will get bored. They rank eighth among the most popular dog breeds in Switzerland.
8.
golden retriever
More than 11,000 Golden Retrievers live in Switzerland. This means the cute four-legged friends moved up to eighth place. This breed is considered a friendly, reliable and retrieving dog, making it an excellent family dog.
9
toy poodle
The miniature poodle ranks ninth among the most popular dog breeds in Switzerland. He sheds very little, is happy to move around and is very docile if you raise him with love. Miniature poodles’ fur should be trimmed regularly as they continue to grow.
10
German shepherd dog
There are currently approximately 10,000 registered German Shepherd dogs living in Switzerland. The animals are known for their keen sense of smell and alertness. That’s why they are often used as service dogs for the military, customs and police.
