Murdoch’s Customers Name Their Dogs

We asked our customers for the names of their dogs. Oh, Boy!

You may be in the habit of calling your dog “pal” or “boy” or “wigglebutt,” but your pooch has a name. A real-life dog name. Because Murdoch’s loves dogs, we wondered what our customers named their dogs. To satisfy our curiosity, we sent out a poll asking for dog names — and thousands of customers responded! Thousands!

We learned some interesting things!

Like what? Well, our customers are creative, that’s for sure. But we knew that. We learned that quite a few chose the same name for their dog and that some dog names were funny, unique, or both. It’s all good stuff, so we got busy and put together lists to share.

Below, we have listed the most popular dog names and the most popular names for Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, and cattle dogs. We also broke out the funniest (we think) and most unique names.

So, did your dog’s name make the list of dog names from Murdoch’s customers?

We owe all the customers who responded to the poll our heartfelt thanks. Thank you!

Let’s do this again sometime. Woof!
