Max the husky shares his name with nearly 700 other pups in Riverside Canton.

For Riverside Canton residents Allison Dominicus and Cesar Ferreyra, there is no other dog like their croaking, Max.

They both individually wanted a domestic dog named Max when they were kids. Dominicus pictured a smaller dog — a Yorkie, perhaps, but Ferreyra said he had always wanted a husky and that'south what the couple got: a big, beautiful tawny-colored Husky.

"He merely looks like a Max," Ferreyra said on a Saturday in April at Carlson Dog Park in Riverside. "I've never met a domestic dog like Max."

While Max might have a personality all his own, he shares his proper name with almost 700 dogs registered in Riverside County.

Max is the fourth most-common dog proper name in the canton and the second most-common male dog name, according to data from the Riverside County Section of Animal Services.

A Molly by any other name

For the nigh office, people name their dogs what yous'd assume they would. There are lots of Lalas, Cookies, Shadows and Peanuts in the data.

The x most common names of registered dogs are:

1. Bella (909)
2. Buddy (715)
3. Daisy (705)
4. Max (694)
5. Lucy (555)
6. Molly (540)
7. Coco (509)
8. Roxy (509)
9. Princess (490)
10. Rocky (490)

Some dog owners got more creative with their furry friend's name, though.

If you call Pugsley, for example, 12 dogs will come but only eight of them will exist a pug or pug mix.

Included in the information is a dachshund named Ragoo and an Akita named Toshiba. There are nine dogs named "Chewbacca," most of whom are small dogs like chihuahuas and Yorkshire terriers. There are more than, if you count the incorrectly spelled Chewbaccas.

Luigi, Mario, Peach and Yoshi all make appearances in the data, as do Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy. Scooby and the Gang, Sonny and Cher and almost the entire bandage of Jersey Shore are listed in the dataset, which contains more 65,000 dogs.

When Vita Garcia'south family took Bebe in off the street a few years ago, the tiny Chinese sharpei mix instantly began to prove her dominance over the family'southward other dog, Garcia said. And then, they decided to telephone call her what she was: a Bad B- well, this is a family newspaper. They shortened it to Bebe.

How much is that short-haired Chihuahua in the window?

The most common canis familiaris breeds are the kinds yous hear nearly every day. Chihuahuas, labs and German shepherds dominate the list.

These are the most common canis familiaris breeds in the county, co-ordinate to the data:

1. Short-haired chihuahua (7,284)
2. Labrador retriever (three,496)
3. German language shepherd (3,132)
4. Short-haired chihuahua mix (2,770)
5. Terrier mix (ii,670)
6. Pit bull (2,232)
7. Labrador retriever mix (i,749)
8. Shih Tzu (i,451)
9. German shepherd mix (1,331)
10. Yorkshire terrier (1,257)

Short-haired chihuahuas are the about-common breed in Riverside County, as of Apr 5, 2017.

Together, those x breeds make up a lilliputian over twoscore percent of the registered dogs in the county.

The data lists dog breeds as people register them. Then a Shih Tzu mix and a Shih Tzu/Yorkshire terrier mix could be the same kind of canis familiaris, only information technology's up to the owner to decide how they register their pet. Three dogs are registered in the data as "good canis familiaris."

A very un-scientific project

It'southward reasonable to assume that non all dogs living in Riverside Canton are registered and therefore the information can't give an accurate picture of the county'due south dog population. Though there are multiple animal services offices where you can register your pet, the Riverside County section is the most expansive one and the data here draws merely from that department.

Riverside County Department of Animal Services spokesman John Welsh couldn't estimate how many unregistered dogs might exist living in the canton.

The Printing-Enterprise obtained the data on Apr 5 via a public records asking, so it won't reflect dogs registered after that date or whose registration has since expired.

State police force dictates that dog owners must have their dog licensed, Welsh said.

The fee for registering is $17, he said. It'due south $100 if the dog hasn't been spayed or neutered. The department keeps the money information technology makes and uses it every bit part of its budget.
