A New Dog Census Web Site

March 20, 2010

A new Dog Census web site is now available. CountMyDog.com is an unofficial dog census created by a small group of dog lovers. The idea is to collect information about as many dogs as possible so we can gather meaningful statistics such as popular names and breed popularity by location. No personal information is requested or stored – just doggie data. Entry is voluntary and no sign-up or login is required. Browse over to CountMyDog.com to enter your dog. Tell all of your dog-loving friends to do the same.
