I thought it would be interesting to share a few fun facts about our membership.
Did you know;
The six most common names for dachshund in our group are;Frankie/Frank | 17 |
Ruby | 12 |
Lucy | 8 |
Dexter | 7 |
Molly | 7 |
Dash/Dasha/Dasher | 7 |
354 of our members have a name that is currently unique within our group.
77% of our members are miniature, 8% are standard and 15% not recorded.
The top 3 suburbs with the highest number of recorded members are;
Canning Vale
Aveley
Victoria Park
However - of course there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. I know for a fact that I met two dogs with the same name on the weekend, and only one of them is registered as a member...
If you'd like to be a registered member of Long Dogs WA, please email us a photo of your dog, his or her name, coat, size and suburb and few words that capture your dogs' character. I'd love to say that membership comes with a secret handshake and a decoder ring - but you will get a blog post and a sense of belonging.
80% of all statistics are made up!
ReplyDeleteAhhh...I still remember being approached at the Million Paws Walk all those years ago when there was just 4 members! I can't believe how much it has grown. I remember stopping my car and grabbing people on the streets to sign them up if they had a dachshund with them hahahaha
