“Northern Territory’s list is unique, favouring working and hunting breeds that thrive in rugged environments,” Crighton says.
The variation in which dog breeds are preferred across states and territories can be attributed to several factors, including climate, the type of home people live in and the jobs they work, plus hypoallergenic needs and, of course, trends.
