Interesting how the Shibe Inu’s have Japanese names
This is all New York data so why do you think that is?
Seems more likely that people interested in Japan related things are buying and naming these dogs, less likely that it is Japanese owners, and nobody else is choosing these?
- munificent 7y agoI think the simpler observation is that it's a Japanese breed name, so they pick a name that fits that. If you look at many of the other breeds, the most common name is clearly a riff on the breed: Boxer -> Tyson (Chocolate) labrador -> Hershey Blue heeler -> Blue Jack Russell terrier -> Jack Chihuahua -> lots of Mexican names King Charles spaniel -> Charlie Pug -> Pugsly Dachshund (weiner dog) -> Nathan (brand of hot dogs) Boston terrier -> Buster (guessing this is because it's similar-sounding)
