Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Doggy day cares bring in a mix of canines from tiny pups to large, senior dogs and one center in Canada recently highlighted the “rare” breeds that come in.The day care’s December 3 TikTok video, posted under the account @bowdogcalgary, showed viewers the various dogs that attend and the carers work with. But as the doggy day care went through each one, one thing became clear—these weren’t rare dogs in the slightest.All 15 dogs the day care highlighted were a Labrador retriever or some type of Lab. The dogs sported several colors: black, gold, silver and brown. Some appeared to be senior dogs as their snout included some grey hairs.Despite the fact that they’re all the same breed, the short spotlight moment showed off their personalities. Some seemed camera shy, eyeing the person filming to get out of their space, while others sniffed the camera out of curiosity. A couple of dogs were spotted sharing a bed trying to get some rest in the energetic day care.No matter how they felt about being there, they all had one thing in common: every tail couldn’t stop wagging. This goes to show how much fun they’re having at doggy day care and the feeling was mutual among those who work there. The caption reads: “These breeds are very rare and cool to see in day care 🙂 we love all of them so much.”

Among the 1,000 views, the TikTok clip left people cracking up in the comment section.Someone jokingly wrote: “Wow so rare, I’ve never seen one.”Another added: “Not the ‘silver’ labs.”Newsweek reached out to @bowdogcalgary via TikTok for additional comment.Labrador retrievers constantly rank among the most popular dog breeds year in and year out. This breed held the number one spot for several years, dating back to at least 2013, according to the American Kennel Club. In 2022 they were dethroned by French bulldogs. Labs still came in at number two for 2022 and 2023.A recent article from Newsweek reported that Gen X—those between 44 and 59—were most fond of Labrador retrievers, citing that this dog breed’s excitement to be with their human, regardless of the context, was an ideal trait for this generation. They’re popular for their “playful, affectionate and wonderful temperaments.”Baby boomers preferred Chihuahuas, millenials liked German shepherds and Gen Z leaned toward golden retrievers.Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
