| Description: | This dog‑license dataset contains 50 013 distinct records, each identified by a unique integer key. The majority of licenses are lifetime and spayed or neutered, with the most common type being *Dog Lifetime Spayed Female* (≈33 % of records). The breed field is highly heterogeneous, but “Other” accounts for more than half the entries, indicating many unclassified or mixed breeds. Coat color is similarly diverse; “Other” colors comprise a third of the records, while common single‑tone or simple pattern colors such as black, brown, and white dominate the remainder. Dog names are largely unique – over 90 % of names fall into an “Other” bucket that aggregates all uncommon names, with a handful of popular choices like *Bella*, *Lucy*, and *Daisy*. All licenses expire in the year 2099, while their effective dates span from early 2003 to mid‑2026, revealing a long‑term dataset with an uneven temporal distribution. Owner ZIP codes cluster in the 150 00–479 09 range, but a majority of records are labeled “Other”, reflecting many unique or unrecorded ZIP codes. |
