Max, The most popular Dog name in New York

If you’re a dog in New York, the chances are you’re a mongrel named Max.

According to the latest figures released by the city’s health department on Wednesday, there were more than 1,200 dogs named Max, making the name the most popular among the city's more than 100,000 registered canines.

Max was followed by Lucky, Princess, Rocky and Buddy. Mutts, meanwhile, outnumbered their pedigree counterparts, with Labradors, Pit Bulls, Shih Tzus and German Shepherds the most popular purebreds.

Under New York law, all dogs must be licensed and have a licensed tag on their collar while in public.

However, many officials estimate that only around 20% of owners adhere to the rules.

Happy New Year 2007!
