The global pandemic has seen many people welcome new four-legged friends into their homes, with over 3.2 million pets reportedly bought during lockdown.

Learn MoreData analysis by natural pet food brand Barking Heads has established that the nation’s most desirable puppies from the latest, official Kennel Club data.

So, here are the 10 most in-demand pups right now.

The only pup to seriously challenge the Labrador Retriever’s hold on the dog owners of Britain is the French Bulldog. These fun little characters were once a relative rarity in UK parks but have become very popular over the last decade, particularly with those living in cities.

Taking the final podium spot when it comes to puppy popularity is the Cocker Spaniel. Like the Labrador, they are a gun dog – by far the UK’s most popular breed group.
4. Springer Spaniel
Just a place behind their close Cocker cousins is the Springer Spaniel. They were bred to flush out and retrieve game during hunts.
5. Bulldog
Rounding out the top five is the delightfully wrinkly Bulldog – also known as the English Bulldog or British Bulldog. They are well known for their docile and friendly nature.
6. Dachshund
The willful but adorable Dachshund has proved popular this year. Brits particularly like the miniature smooth-coated type of sausage dog.
7. Golden Retriever
Sharing the majority of the positive traits that make their close relative the Labrador such a popular family pet, the Golden Retriever is rarely left out of lists of top dogs.

9. German Shepherd
The brave, loyal and intelligent German Shepherd takes eighth spot. Not only do they make wonderful family pets, they are also one of the most useful dog breeds – working with the police and army on everything from guard duties to drug detection.
10. Pug
Completing the top 10 is the cute Pug. Originally from China, they make excellent lap dogs and are a relatively low-maintenance breed.
