In a recent study that evaluated more than 200,000 mixed-breed dogs across the country, Embark determined which dog breeds were most popular based on the prominence each respective breed showed in each pup’s genetic code.
“Each dog has a unique combination of breeds in its genetic makeup,” Embark’s researchers wrote regarding the study’s findings.

It turns out that the once-revered golden retriever doesn’t make the list, according to Embark, though that could also just mean breeders are not seeking out golden retrievers as much or that owners of golden retrievers try to keep their dog’s lineage as purebred as possible.

The American pit bull terrier is the most common breed found in mixed dogs across the country – even in a far-off state like Hawaii.
“American Pit Bull Terriers (affectionately referred to as Pitties) were popular in areas with lax spay/neuter laws. Coupled with their large litter sizes, this led to a surging number of Pitties over the decades,” Embark researchers said. “Most dogs are imported across state lines, to shelters with open spaces. This explains why Pitties became so widely distributed across the country.”
