As dogs descended on Birmingham this Thursday, marketing agency Reckless had a look at Britain’s most loved pups in different areas of the UK.

The company based the analysis on the most Instagrammed dogs and revealed each county’s favourite canine.

The study showed the Border Terrier is Manchester’s most popular dog, while the Staffy has won the hearts of Londoners.

Dachshund proved to be the most Instagrammed dog in Berkshire and the South East.

Why are dogs’ noses so wet? Dogs’ noses secrete a thin layer of mucous that helps them absorb scent. They then lick their noses to sample the scent through their mouth.

Whilst in the East, the cockapoo seemed to be a huge favourite, followed by the beagle.

The Samoyed was a popular choice in the East midlands, followed by Westies and Schnauzers.

However, for people in Yorkshire and Humber, the German Shepherd was the obvious choice.
