Queenie is growing in popularity the fastest, followed by Newt and Percival.
Los Angeles is home to the most pups names Queenie
Newt is most popular in Seattle.
Seraphina is popular in Charlotte, NC.

Then they decided to take it step further by creating their own pooch-inspired wizarding houses. Check these out!

pukwudgie — Similar to Hufflepuff, this house embodies a patient, friendly spirit with an independent streak. They’re perfectly represented by Coconut, the cheerful Samoyed.

horned-serpent — Just like Ravenclaw, this house is known to favor scholars. They’re thinkers, dreamers, and creative types always ready to learn something new. Beautiful Della, the black lab, is their ideal representative.
