“A special mention goes to the Shih Tzu, who makes his only appearance in the Philippines. This homely little fellow is originally from Tibet, and developed as a cross between the Lhasa Apso and other Chinese imperial breeds,” the survey said.

The study showed that the Rottweiler is the number one dog in 34 countries – the highest number of appearances for any breed.

The Australian Shepherd on the other hand is the most-searched breed in the world, with 913,000 monthly hits across the 4 countries where it is number one.
