Earlier this month, we shared the most popular dog names and breeds across the Ōtorohanga District, and your response was PAW-some!
Top names like Ruby, Max, and Jess are clearly local legends, with top breeds including Labrador Retrievers and Huntaways.
Thank You for Taking Part!
This campaign wasn’t just about prizes — it was about encouraging timely dog registrations.
By 31 July, hundreds of owners made sure their pups were officially registered for the 2025 year, helping us keep our communities safe and our canine friends accounted for.
A huge thanks to everyone who entered, and congratulations to our winners. If you see your name, get in touch with our Communications and Engagement team today.
