A cross\u2010sectional questionnaire of dog owners was used to gather dog demographic information and investigate owners\u2019 dog management behaviours. A survey was also conducted to estimate the total dog population size.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean total dog population size was estimated to be 813 (range, 770\u2013868). The roaming dog population was 430 or 542 (95% confidence interval (CI) 254\u2013608; 95% CI 405\u2013680, standard and modified methods, respectively). Therefore, the roaming population represents 52.8% or 66.7% of the total population based on the sight\u2013resight methodology. We surveyed 65 dog owners who owned 165 dogs (1\u2009:\u20091 ratio of male\u2009:\u2009female dogs). Only 14% (95% CI 9\u201319) of dogs were sterilised and significantly more males were entire (P\u2009=\u20090.02). Although most dogs were pets (65%), hunting dogs were significantly more likely to be taken outside of the resident community (P\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The birth rate was 2.4 puppies\/dog\u2010owning house\/year, which was higher than the death rate (1.7 dogs\/dog\u2010owning house\/year). In the previous 12\u2009months, 90% of the 109 deaths were dogs aged 0\u20132\u2009years old.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study demonstrated that most of the dog population in the NPA is free\u2010roaming and that the population has increased, likely because of a lack of population management strategies such as sterilisation.
