At Harvey & Hugo, we are barking mad about dogs. That’s why we are trying to discover the North East’s most beloved breed by launching a poll to mark International Dog Day on Saturday, August 26.
Leader of The Pack Charlotte Nichols, who named the company after her two prized border terriers, believes it is time to crown the region’s top dog. She said: “Dog ownership has soared and during lockdown alone, three million households bought a dog.”
“Dogs are firmly at the heart of our business, much like they are part of millions of people’s lives. We see dogs as part of our family.
“We’ve always been a nation of dog lovers, and the North East is no different – we absolutely adore our pets in this region.
“So it will be fascinating to see which breed is crowned top dog ahead of International Dog Day this year, particularly when some of the breeds that have previously been voted to be among the least popular are actually incredibly popular.”
Previously, a 2015 YouGov poll listed the Labrador as Britain’s most popular breed while the likes of the pit bull and the chihuahua came close to the bottom. However, the latest poll comes as dog lovers across the world celebrate International Dog Day.
The annual event was launched in 2004 and aims to encourage adoption and raise awareness among owners around how to take better care of their pets.
Currently around 29 per cent of UK households have a dog, making them the most popular pet in Britain – an accolade which until very recently was held by the cat.
To vote for your favourite breed, fill in this short survey here. The deadline for voting is September 6, with the results announced next month.
