It's a good day to be a Yorkshire terrier. That diminutive dog has moved into the number 2 spot on the list of most popular dog breeds in the United States, according to the American Kennel Club's 2006 registration numbers. Labrador retrievers held onto their number one spot. Others in the top five: German shepherds, third place; golden retrievers, fourth, and beagles, fifth. Dog breeders say the Yorkie's rise in favor is due to its portability. Other small breeds gaining popularity include the Cavalier King Charles spaniel.
