Best-Selling Dogs

April 30, 2008

Pets & Pet Care best sellers appear in the May 1 issue, a subject we haven't done a list for since 2003. When I came up with only dog books, I checked the old list to make sure there wasn't an error. Nope; people just love dogs and have for a much longer time than the past five years. However, the list from 2003 shows the popular breeds for guidebooks were rottweilers, Chihuahuas, pit bulls, and bichons frises. The dachshund and Labrador retriever stood the test of time, showing up on both lists, and the Siberian husky seems to be this year's choice breed, as far as the books are representative of the best-selling pups.

Surprisingly, there are no books on designer dog breeds on the list this year. I distinctly remember being taken by Dogs by Design and passing it around in the office last year. There are dog cookbooks (PupSnacks and Better Food for Dogs), however, to represent the times and, of course, Cesar Millan's books.

Goin to the dogs! Seems like my college turf, West Chester, PA is goin to the dogs. Barack Obama spoke at West Chester University during a brief time when he and Mrs. Clinton called off the dogs. Unfortunately, the era of good feelings was soon spent and soon the dogs were let out snarling again.
On a more canine convivial note, West Chester, PA will be the filming site of John Grogan's MARLEY AND ME, his phenomenally popular Chick/Dog/Book/Flick.

Best,
Karl
