top five popular large/giant breeds?
« on: October 20, 2005, 04:12:46 am »
I am betting we can do this pretty easy. Would you say they are: Saint, Newfie, Dane, Pyr, and ... Rottie? That's how it seems on this board anyways...
Maybe it should be top 10 instead to give some other guys a chance! Who's got some ideas???

Yeah, mastiff is a good one. I would like to clarify that I mean popular in the good sense of the word, not like a fad or anything. Like, top 10 list of big dogs who we TOTALLY LOVE...

Interesting topic. So far I would have to say that our board popularity belongs to:

1. Newf
2. Saints
3. Pyrs
4. Mastiffs
5. Rotties
6. Retrievers
7. Rotties
8. Mixed breeds
9. Rare breeds
10. I dunno...

Is there a way to tally up the top 10 from the BPO pawprints? Without counting them by hand that is? ::)

Why yes, yes there is.  Microsoft Excel is a wonderful thing.  Although there are far more pressing things sitting on my desk that I should be doing, I copied and pasted the pawprint list into Excel, eliminated all the duplicate entries of the same dog, and calculated the frequencies.  Here are the results of the October 2005 BPO Paw Print Statistical Analysis...


Laurelgrove! You are a genius!!! :D
