Poll: Tasman's favourite dog breed

Reporter The Nelson Mail

Dog registration statistics for 2017 have shown that collies are the popular dog breed in Tasman District, making up just under 10 per cent of all registered dogs in the district (out of a total of 10775).

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

The next most popular breeds in Tasman were (in order): labrador retrievers, huntaways, jack russells, and staffordshire terriers.

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