Poll: Nelson's favourite dog breed

Reporter The Nelson Mail

Dog registration statistics for 2017 have shown that labradors are the popular dog breed in Nelson, making up just under 5 per cent of all registered dogs in the district (out of a total of 5046).

We're looking for labrador owners to talk to about why they chose to get a lab, and what makes their dogs special.

The next most popular breeds in Nelson were (in order): collies, jack russells, staffordshire terriers, and bichon frise.

Let us know which dog you think should be Nelson's favourite for 2018.
