The table has been roughly divided in four categories. The upper right quadrant is named the “Hot Dog” category of popular breeds at this time which includes Border Collies, Pomeranian Poodles and Golden Retrievers.

The upper left quadrant is “Overrated” which are dog breeds which are popular but with a low score which includes Bulldogs, French bulldogs, Great Danes, Boxers etc.

The lower right quadrant is classified as “Overlooked Treasures” which are popular dog breeds with a high score that include Golden Setters, Tibetan Terriers, Pointers, Border Terriers etc.

The lower left quadrant is categorized as “Rightly Ignored” which are unpopular dog breeds with a low score which include Irish Wolfhounds, Borzoi’s, Afghan Hounds etc.
