Quoted: This post is brought to you by CoronaBoredom. I really don't like Cocker Spaniels. They're living breathing mops that just look stupid. Stupid dumb little shits that require haircuts. Dogs shouldn't require haircuts. Saw one today being walked by an older guy and got to thinking - everyone I know that has one is older. They do not seem to be popular with younger generations. Is the breed dying out in popularity? And what other breeds don't seem to be popular anymore that once were? Shepherds, the american urban hyena, labs, and -doodle (lol you have a stupid dog name) variants seem to be going strong. I don't see many full size purebred poodles. Thankfully. |

I have a female black mouth cur. Nobody knows what she is and seem perplexed by her. Dog places don't even have her breed in the system. I've met one other person with a black mouth cur in the 4 years I have owned her.

We had a cocker spaniel growing up. He was a good buddy.
Seems like a ton of people now have Labs or Goldens. Watching Magnum PI on prime with Zeus and Apollo. Yeah, can’t remember the last time I saw a Doberman. |

Racing greyhounds are becoming scarcer now that more tracks are closing. The last remaining Alabama track just closed this week.
https://www.wvtm13.com/article/nearly-600-dogs-now-need-new-homes/32228836 There's an AKC greyhound but it's barely the same breed IMHO and doesn't have the same athleticism. None of the adoption groups around here have had new hounds for a while. Good for the dogs I guess. |

On the inverse side, I've been shocked by the explosion in popularity of the Vizsla.
I grew up with them. I do not think they are good dogs for the vast majority of people who own them. |

A girl I know in her mid to late 20s has a cocker spaniel. Dumbest, most useless dog. If you pet it too much it urinates in excitement.

Dog breed popularity seems cyclical.
A certain dog appears in a movie or something, the breed explodes in popularity, and then it fades back into the masses. |

Lots of dogs are now pit mixes, and you're a bad person if you don't rescue one from a shelter. So instead of researching a breed and finding a reputable breeder folks just go to a shelter.

He was at my grandparents place in the country where fences were for cattle, not dogs. I watched him chase cars, like 1/2 of all country dogs. He wanted to play chicken with the front wheels instead of chasing them from behind like most dogs. |

Pure breds in general seem to be declining. Sad, because generations of work go into breeding specific, refined physical and mental capabilities. I'm a breed snob. Each breed exists for a reason.

The dog barks all the fucking time and is always amped. They never even take it for walks. I feel sorry for the thing- it’s gotta be freaking out 24/7 without being able to work or run around. Kinda like all the ppl with heelers who can’t figure out why the dogs are psycho. Shitty owners, not shitty dogs. |

Seppala Siberian Sled dogs. Similar to Siberian Huskies, they were first bred by Leonhard Seppala, the sled dog driver famous for his part in the 1925 serum run to Nome, AK to stop an outbreak of diphtheria. His lead dog, Togo, was the origin of his breed. Always bred as working dogs, not show dogs, there isn't much use for them now. From what I understand, they aren't really ideal for the Iditarod race, and a lot of people just use snow machines. It's a pretty cool connection to a famous time in Alaskan history, but it is dying out.

Used to be quite a few when I grew up. Beagles are still heavily used by the medical research industry. It's pretty messed up. They can only get used for one study. When that study is over, the dogs get a limited window to be adopted out before they are killed and their organs are harvested. The companies that do the work often don't work with rescue groups or the like, so it's pretty much on individual employees to sign the waivers, get the dogs out, and find them homes. I have a survivor. I'm happy he's not dead, but adopting him hasn't been painless from a training and adaptation standpoint. |

I had springer spaniels growing up and one cocker spaniel. The male springer spaniels were all mean, they attacked everyone in my family and my dad only got rid of them once they attacked him.
I don’t see too many springer spaniels out there although the Ohio governor just got one. These seem popular, Labs, rottweilers, corgis, dachshunds, golden retrievers, German shepherds, huskys, pugs. Big dog breeds seem popular also. I hear “purse dogs” are popular out in California. Old mean ladies seem to always have smaller mean dogs. |
