The analysis, published Friday, also said Hispanics are more likely than whites or blacks to own dogs, that young adults are more likely than retirees to have dogs and that dachshunds are not winning any popularity contests. Advertisement The breakdown of what type of dogs live where was done using zip codes, but the report acknowledged officials estimate only one in five dogs is registered with the city, home to approximately 530,000 canines. Over all, the most common type of dog licensed in the 2003 fiscal year, which ended June 30, was a mixed breed. This was followed, in order, by Labrador retriever, German shepherd, Shih Tzu, pit bull, Chihuahua, Yorkshire terrier, cocker spaniel, Rottweiler and Maltese.
