What is your state/counties dog?

Question

Dog breeds are often associated with a place. For example the Yorkshire terrier or the Brittany Spaniel. Here in Pembrokeshire Wales our dog is the Pembrokeshire Corgi (pictured). Not all dog breeds associated with a place will have the place in their name.

Does your state/county/home town have a dog breed associated with it?

The American dog must be a mutt. We are non-distinctive blend of people who were thrown out of the best countries in the world. We are loyal, protective and intelligent.

Or perhaps the American Pit Bull which has a reputation as hyper-aggressive, a killer dog and one that is banned in many places. This also represents us in many ways. These dogs can also be loyal, protective and intelligent too. My daughter has two of them (although one is a mutt but mostly Pit Bull) and I have seen people cross the street as she has walked them. They are good but powerful dogs. She didn’t set out for them but one was supposed to be a mix of Boxer and Labrador but DNA shows it is mainly Pit Bull but a lot bigger. He has a head the size of an Alligator’s head. The other one was left in the summer sun tied to a telephone pole and abandoned as she watched for a while. DNA has that one as 100% Pit Bull.

We had a Welch Pembroke Corgi as it was called here. A very good dog but not the smartest specimen.

My state does not have an official dog breed, but it does happen to have a state recognized individual dog. I never knew that until today. Introducing, Jim, the Wonder Dog:

I don't think Canada has a national or regional dog. Our places have regional flowers. With a different flower for each region. It might be because the original Canadians were aboriginals who did not have a history of owning or domesticating dogs. The white settlers were the second people who came, not the first.

NathanDavis · Answer

apparently... there's a "Texas Dog" who knew... not me, live and learn

" it doesn't sit... that's very Texas, don't tell Texans what to do...

" Designated as Texas’s official dog breed in 2005, Blue Lacy reigns supreme in the Lone Star state! While the Blue Lacy hasn’t branched too much out of Texas, they’re gaining national popularity! Between their intelligent personalities and never-ending energy, there’s no question why this breed is highly talked about lately. Originally bred in the 1800s to aid in ranch work, the Blue Lacy lives to herd, hunt, and help! "

Republican state rep, in 2018, wanted to make Ohios state dog, the labrador retriever, saying it has "family values", lmao. But, PETA objected to it: A national animal welfare organization says it opposes a proposal to make the Labrador retriever the state dog of Ohio, arguing the bill will entice puppy mills to produce them in large numbers.

Ohio does not have a state dog. We have a state pet though: the shelter pet. It's to let people know that lots of animals including dogs still need to be adopted
