Originally Published 1 year ago — by NPR
The French bulldog has been named America's most popular dog breed for the second year in a row, with close to 98,500 registrations in 2023. Despite its popularity, the breed remains controversial due to health issues associated with its short snouts, and its high demand has led to thefts, with the average price ranging between $1,500 to $3,000. Notably, Lady Gaga's stolen French bulldogs were returned, leading to charges against the perpetrators.
