The most popular pooch south of the border in the United States is the Australian shepherd, while the most popular pooch in the United Kingdom is the cockapoo. Brazilians favour rottweilers while Aussies adore border collies. 

Over in Russia, Dobermans are the breed of choice. The Shiba Inu is the most popular dog in South Korea, while the cane corso--an Italian breed of mastiff--is most popular in Djibouti.

In the Philippines, the shih tzu is the most popular dog, while Chileans favour pugs.
