I would venture to guess that, like, 80% of Instagram posts are dogs now. I mean, there are dogs with millions of followers and their humans make thousands of dollars from photographing and videoing their dogs.

So, of the millions of dog accounts on Instagram – what breeds are the most popular? Well, according to user posts and some research by the New York Times, these are the five most popular breeds on Instagram.

5. Husky

The original Siberian Huskies were bred by the Chukchi people, the pups were essential to their hunter-gatherer culture. Later the dogs were famously brought to Alaska during the late 19th-century gold rush.

4. Chihuahua

The smallest breed of dog and named after the estate in Mexico… also, only respected for its impact on the evolution of Taco Bell.

3. Terrier

There are a ton of Terrier types but they’re all unique, high energy, wiry, and awesome. Most Terrier breeds were developed in Britain or Ireland, going way back,  and were originally used for field hunting burrowing animals.

2. Bulldog

Pure muscle and wrinkle, that’s all a bulldog is… but you can’t deny how fucking adorable they look. English or French Bulldogs, they’re both adorable.

1. Pug

Pugs are just dogs so ugly, you have to love them for it. Bred to be companions for ruling families in ancient China, Pugs come from unique beginnings and have some of the most physically distinctive features of any breed.
