There’s a turf war in San Francisco. Fighting for territory? Chihuahuas and labs. These are the two most common dog breeds found in the city, according to detailed data obtained by the Chronicle from San Francisco Animal Care and Control on every dog registered since 2020, a total of 50,000 pups. But depending on which neighborhood you are in, you are much more likely to see one or the other. There are also a few pockets of the city where other dogs dominate. While there’s more than enough data to give us a strong sense of the city’s dog scene, the dataset doesn’t represent every canine in San Francisco. Animal Care and Control estimated in 2018 that the dog population was between 120,000 and 150,000. The department said that not all dogs are licensed because people might not be aware of the law requiring it or don’t want to pay the fee, and there are only 11 officers who patrol the city to look for unlicensed dogs. With this bounty of doggo information, we have anointed this “Dog data week,” in which we will explore a different aspect of San Francisco’s four-pawed population each day. Today, we start with San Francisco’s great breed divide. In addition to names, colors, and breeds, the data also includes the ZIP code of every registered dog.

Levi’s Stadium hosted the first of six assigned World Cup matches as Switzerland met Qatar, which secured the 1-1 draw with a late header in stoppage time on Saturday. The noon kickoff arrived in the middle of a heat advisory projected to last until 7 p.m. An announced crowd of 67,966 settled into their seats under a beaming sun with temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s. FIFA listed a 68,827 capacity for the “San Francisco Bay Area Stadium” in December. Patches of empty seats made the 98.7% capacity appear to be an overrepresentation. 🎥: Wendi Jonassen
