These proud dogs are often confused with the German Shepherd, mostly because they are also used by the military and police. They can focus on moving objects, making them perfect for such work. They were originally bred to be herding dogs. Given this, they are very active dogs that need socialization and obedience training, particularly if you live in an apartment or don’t have a lot of land space. They are great for families especially if you have children they can chase around. This breed can get anywhere from 40 to 80 lbs and live to be around 14 to 16 years old.

Your canine family members are very much welcome in South Dakota, one of the United States’ most pet-friendly states. From the outdoor experience of the Braeburn Addition Off-leash Dog Area in Rapid City to the Miner Brewing Co. in Hill City, there’s something to please the tastes of any dog! Truly unique attractions, including Hartford’s 1880 Cowboy Town, allow dogs to accompany their owners on-leash to participate and learn about the history and culture of South Dakota. In addition, dozens of dog parks cater to small and big dogs alike who want to let loose and sniff a few bottoms in the afternoons.
South Dakota has not formally chosen a state dog breed…but its official wild animal is the coyote. Close enough!
The most popular name for a dog in South Dakota is Louie.
Labrador Retrievers are this state’s most beloved breed.
