The UK's 20 favourite dog breeds by each city have been revealed in a new study — and Golden and Labrador Retrievers have dominated the list.
For the research, the team at LoveCrafts.com analysed Google Search Trend data to discover which dog breed is most popular across the UK, after more people started searching for pups during lockdown.
Border Terriers were found to be London's favourite breed, while over in Glasgow, Beagles came out on top. Other breeds to make the top 20 include Pugs, the lively Jack Russell and beautiful German Shepherds.
Edward Griffith, founder of LoveCrafts.com, said: "We are a nation of dog lovers! With more people working from home or furloughed, it's removed one of the barriers to owning one - time. It's not surprising many made the decision to welcome a four legged friend into their lives."

Ruffwear Summit Trex Dog Boots
Ice and grit can leave your dog with sore paws. These clever boots are lightweight enough not to bother them, but also provide protection from abrasive surfaces.
They keep moisture and debris out thanks to the weather-resistant ripstop upper, too.

Apply in the summer to defend against the fiery heat of the road and sand at the beach. Use daily for super soft, protected paws.
Canine Hardware Hydro Bowl
We might be surrounded by snow and ice, but keeping your dog hydrated is as important in cold weather as when it's warm.
This collapsable bowl can hold the equivalent of five cups of water. And it's small enough to fold up and fit in your pocket.
