For Riverside County residents Allison Sun and Cesar Ferreyra, no other dog can be like their Husky Max.

When they were kids, they each wanted a dog named Max. Sun imagined a smaller dog—maybe a Yorkie, but Ferreira said he had always wanted a husky, and the couple got it: a big and beautiful tawny husky.

"He just looks like a Max," Ferreira said at the Carlson Dog Park on the riverfront on a Saturday in April. "I have never seen a dog like Max."

Although Max may have his own personality, he shares his name with nearly 700 dogs registered in Riverside County.

According to the Riverside County Animal Services Department, Max is the fourth most common dog name in the county and the second most common male dog name.

Molly by any other name

In most cases, people give their dog the name you think. There are many Lalas, Cookies, Shadows and Peanuts in the data.

The 10 most common names for registered dogs are:

However, some dog owners are more creative with the names of their furry friends.

For example, if you call Pugsley, there will be 12 dogs coming, but only 8 of them are pugs or pug groups.

The data includes a dachshund named Ragoo and an Akita named Toshiba. There are nine dogs named "Chewbacca", most of which are small dogs such as Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers. If you count the misspelled Chewbaccas, there are more.

Luigi, Mario, Peach and Yoshi all appear in the data, as do Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy. Scooby-Doo and the gang, Sonny and Cher, and almost all actors from the Jersey Shore are listed in the data set, which contains more than 65,000 dogs.

Garcia said that when Vita Garcia's family took Bebe on the street a few years ago, this tiny Chinese Shar Pei mixture immediately began to prove her dominance over another dog in the family. So they decided to call her by her first name: Bad B-well, this is a family document. They shortened it to Beibei.

How much is the short-haired chihuahua in the window?

The most common dog breeds are the ones you hear every day. Chihuahuas, Labs and German Shepherds dominate the list.

According to the data, these are the most common dog breeds in the county:

These 10 breeds together account for more than 40% of the registered dogs in the county.

The data lists the breeds of dogs when people register. Therefore, the mixed Shih Tzu and the mixed Shih Tzu/Yorkshire Terrier may be the same dog, but it is up to the owner to decide how to register the pet. Three dogs are registered as "good dogs" in the data.

It is reasonable to assume that not all dogs living in Riverside County are registered, so the data cannot accurately reflect the dog population in that county. Although you can register your pet at multiple animal service offices, the Riverside County Department is the most extensive department, and the data here comes from that department only.

Riverside County Animal Services spokesperson John Welsh could not estimate how many unregistered dogs may be in the county.

Press-Enterprise obtained the data through a public record request on April 5th, so it will not reflect dogs whose registration or registration has expired after that date.

Wales says state law requires dog owners to hold their dog's license.

He said that the registration fee is $17. If the dog has not been neutered or neutered, it is $100. The department keeps the money it makes and uses it as part of the budget.
