WHILE Kelpies are the obvious choice of breed for the farming areas that surround Hamilton, a recent release of statistics for dog registrations in Victoria has revealed a very different breed is the most popular in town.

Plugging in postcode 3300 into the Central Animal Records database reveals Jack Russell Terriers are the dog of choice for locals, with 288 dogs registered compared to 257 Kelpies.
