Names Staffordshire Bull Terrier owners choose far more than other owners

Names with 15 or more dogs only.

No name stands out for Staffordshire Bull Terriers: their names follow the same pattern as dogs in general.

How far these Staffordshire Bull Terrier names can be trusted

Four places, not the whole country

Only four US registers publish each dog's name and breed together. 81% of these Staffordshire Bull Terriers are licensed in New York City, so the list leans towards New York tastes. Many owners never license their dog, so this is a large sample of licensed dogs, not a census.
