10 Most Popularly Photographed Dog Breeds Of Instagram


Everyone thinks their dog is the most beautiful dog in the world (and they’re right!) but an online voucher code company wanted to know what the most popular Insta dog breeds were and rounded up the top ten. Did yours make the list?
Does it seem like you see some dog breeds photographed more on social media than others? It’s not because they’re more photogenic is it? Naaaah, every dog is the most gorgeous furball that ever was, so that can’t be it.

Still, there are some dog breeds that seem to be more snapped than others and the English online voucher code company MyVoucherCodes.co.uk wanted to find out just what those breeds were.
To do so, they followed hashtags that indicated breeds of dogs photographed. Ever searched the hashtag #GoldensofInstagram? (They’re beautiful; of course you have!) You’ll find over three million posts of beautiful golden retrievers. And so, the company did that with lots of breeds. Lots and lots and lots of breeds.
They analyzed and did some data detail and found that indeed, it seemed that there were some #dogsofinstagram who were more often found (and therefore, assumed more popular) on Insta than others.
