ABSTRACT Information on the prevalence of the most popular breeds within one society can provide insights into its sociological, economic, and anthropological aspects, while also aiding in the organization of more effective veterinary services and improving animal welfare. This research aimed to determine whether there has been a change in dog breed ownership between the Serbian capital city, Belgrade (BG), and non-Belgrade (non-BG) regions over the last 15 years, for three five-year periods: 2008–2012, 2013–2017, and 2018–2022. Data on breed prevalence were collected from the official Vetup database of the Republic of Serbia. Mixed-breed dogs were the most prevalent in both BG and non-BG regions across all three periods, though their percentage has declined in the most recent period relative to purebred dogs.
