UK 2019 dog population estimates for the top 30 crossbreds, subdivided by country. ‘Mix breeds’ was omitted due to unknown lineage (represents 39.3% of the total crossbred population). Percentage (%) relates to proportion of UK population represented by crossbred. Circles represent presence of crossbred within country’s (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales) top 15 rankings. Notable variation in popularity across countries is evident e.g., Cavapoo (i.e., Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Poodle) only apparent within England’s rankings, Sprocker (i.e., Cocker Spaniel x English Springer Spaniel) apparent within England’s and Scotland’s rankings only, Cavachon (i.e., Bichon Frise x Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) within Northern Ireland’s and Wales’s rankings, English Springer Spaniel cross/type only present within Northern Ireland’s ranking, and Lhasa Apso cross/type only present within Scotland’s rankings. See Supplementary Tables 5 and 7 for further detail.
