Top Dog Breed Searches On Yahoo

Does anyone here have a site or product that deals with dog breeds?

Here's what I found on Yahoo just this morning:

Top Dog

As the Westminster Dog Show once again pits 25,000 or so dogs against one another for best-in-breed and in-show, the dog-and-puppy show continues strong online ... especially now with the Oval Office at stake.
As canine admirers, the Buzz Log has looked over popular pooches for years, extending an occasional pat on the head for the most sought-after rescue dogs or the irresistible appeal of puppies in springtime. The Web can be fickle in judging who is man's best friend, but generally, portable pups lead the pack. However, a certain teacup breed did lose some ground in Search popularity this year. Canine trends past and present:
Standing Mighty Small
Never underestimate the Chihuahua. The quivering canine most suited to be stuffed into a purse boasted 2006 summer searches belying its size and scampered past bulldogs and rottweilers. By November 2006, the pipsqueak stood tall against the pug and the English bulldog, and faced down a double-team of American and English bulldogs in summer 2007. Its Web ranking has dipped since, coincidentally after the release of "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." There can be such a thing as bad publicity.
Feeling Bullish or Bearish
Bulldogs dominated the dog days of summer 2008, as the English, American, and French breeds hogged the top 10 spots. In the past 30 days, though, only the French made the top 20 dog searches. Should there be a campaign to buy American? In this bearish market, though, look what made a 38% Search rise during the same time period -- teddy bear puppies.
White House-Broken?
With the White House still bereft of a four-legged resident, possible candidates wandering through Search include the Peruvian hairless dog and goldendoodle, as well as the Portuguese water dog. The last still enjoys a healthy online vetting process, but the labradoodle currently has the vote for most online popular dog in the past 30 days.
Breeding Tells
After the spaniel and terrier domination at Westminster, winners like Rufus the bull terrier (2006) and Uno the beagle (2008) broke out of the pack as best-in-show. The New York Daily News seems to think the top dog may be a Dogue de Bordeaux (+136%), AKA the French mastiff breed (+85%), whose cuddly wrinkly visage could put Botox injections out of business once and for all. One betting Web site, however, puts the odds on continued beagle domination, with the Brussels Griffon reporting 10-1 odds.
Litters Underfoot
Other dogs to watch out for: Vizsla puppies have popped up 1,371%. Other pups in play: Shiba Inus, Siberian huskies, and Samoyeds. And, with the aforementioned labradoodle being so popular, other mixed-up breeds with Web appeal: puggles, Yorkie poos, Maltipoos, cockapoo, morkies, and a schnoodle. And you thought those were just embarrassing spousal terms of endearments.
Now, we open the gates and let the Search dogs out. (By the way, feel free to brag about your own best friend below in the comments.)

      Dear April: I don't want any trouble from you.
      January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
      So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.
