Introduction
Babe the pig wanted to be a Border Collie, and the
popularity of Border Collies soared.
The evil Cruella deVille kidnapped bright-eyed Dalmatians
for nefarious purposes, and Dalmatians made it into the top 10
breeds registered by the American Kennel Club.
Lady and the
Tramp
made Cocker Spaniels more sought after than ever.
The top 10 breeds in AKC registrations in 1995 were Labrador
Retriever, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Beagle,
Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, Dachshund, Pomeranian, and Yorkshire
Terrier. The Dalmatian has fallen to 11th, but the soon-to-be
released live version of 101 Dalmatians should bring numbers
up.
