Boston’s most popular dog names released
I must confess I didn’t even know the city of Boston kept stats on the most popular dog names. But they do.
The Boston Parks and Recreation Department’s Animal Care and Control Division requires city dog owners that the annual deadline for licensing their pets is March 31. All dogs in Boston require a new license each year. Having my real estate office in Beacon Hill I see lot of dog owners, which are both Boston condo owners and apartment renters.
In preparation for the 2023 licensing deadline, the Animal Care and Control Division released licensing data from the previous year to reveal the most popular dog names of 2022.
The most popular male dog name in 2022 was once again Charlie with 81 registered in Boston, while Bentley brought up the back of the pack with 23 males with that name. The top female name registered was also the same this year, Luna, with 114 registered while 25th place went to Piper with 27 licensed.
The data also provides the 25 most popular dog breeds registered in Boston. In 2022 the top ten breeds were Labrador Retriever with 1,694 registered, Golden Retriever (727), Chihuahua (480), German Shepherd (392), Miniature Poodle (331), Pit Bull (321), Yorkshire Terrier (314), Shih Tzu (312), Beagle (311), and Australian Shepherd (296).
