French Bulldogs Remain the Most Popular U.S. Breed. Many Fans Aren ’ t Happy
(NEW YORK) — French bulldogs. U.S. dog owners. C’est l’amour.
Frenchies remained the United States’ most commonly registered purebred dogs last year, according to American Kennel Club rankings released Wednesday. The club calls the Frenchie the most popular breed, though other canine constituencies may beg to differ.
Is it a coup to be celebrated? Au contraire, say longtime fans who rue what popularity is doing to the breed. Nevertheless, after lapping Labrador retrievers to take the top spot in 2022, the bat-eared, scaled-down bulldogs held on in the new standings, which reflect puppies and o...

A data duel over U.S. maternal mortality
Experts agree that the U.S. maternal mortality rate is unacceptably high. And year after year of data show that disadvantaged groups, particularly Black and Native American women, die at even higher rates than women in the United States overall during pregnancy and childbirth.
But controversy broke out last week over just how bad the situation is, when a paper by academic epidemiologists published in the
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
(
AJOG
) provoked unusual pushback from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The paper suggested a widely reported tripling in t...
