Following on from out Top Japanese Cat Names article here is a list of the top names for dog in Japan for 2011. Dogs are a popular pet in Japan, especially smaller breeds like poodles,chihuahuas, pomeranians, dachshunds and french bulldogs. The smaller sized dogs are popular because they take up less space and are thought of as very cute. Therefore they are very popular with teenage girls and you can often see Japanese girls walking their little dogs or carrying them in their handbags !


The downside of all this is that Japan has a rather large homeless dog population. Most are abandoned after their owners realize the huge responsibility of pet ownership.  However, the big difference in Japan is that more than 70 percent of the stray dogs are euthanized at animal shelters because of a cultural stigma to own anything secondhand. Far too often dogs are treated simply as toys or trinkets and are soon discarded when they become a burden on a person's lifestyle.
