Australia’s most popular dog breeds have been revealed – and there’s not an ‘oodle’ in sight!
While parks across the country are filled with stylish designer dogs and purebreds it’s been revealed that Australians really love a ‘bitsa’.
New data from rent.com.au, the national rental listings website, has revealed a snapshot of dog ownership from renters across the country.
The data showed that mixed-breeds are the most popular choice for dog owners, with a huge 35% of hounds belonging to that category.
They’re followed by staffies, who make up 8.9% of the pet pie, beating Maltese shih tzus (5.1%) in third place and labradors (3.4%) in fourth.
And although spoodles, labradoodles and cavoodles might be on trend right now, none were to be found within the most common cross-breeds. Instead, the top mixed breed was the staffy-kelpie cross, making up a huge 29% of all ‘bitsas’.
They were followed by a kelpie-border collie cross at 17% and a Bull Arab-staffy cross at 12.2%.
