This breed was once known as the Shetland Collie, but after much confusion with Border Collies, the name was transformed to Shetland Sheepdog. This breed is known for its majestic figure and long fur, and its gentle and reserved personality. They are strong dogs with bounds of energy for play and herding of animals. Shelties are best raised in open land where they can run freely. They make for great family dogs and also perfect companions for older couples. They live to about 13 years of age and weigh anywhere from 15 to 30 lbs.

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.
