This popular breed gets its name from the Mandarin phrase “Shih Tzu” meaning “Little Lion”. And what a fitting name, given their long hair and spunky personality! This lively puppy loves affection and a good cuddle, but also doesn’t mind being independent. They walk with an air of royalty, perhaps because they were the chosen breed to accompany Chinese emperors. They are fiercely loyal and happiest when by your side. These puppies are perfect for older couples and don’t mind other pets, as long as they don’t take away from their cuddle time with their owners. This breed remains small at 9 to 16 lbs and lives up to 16 years old.

Like they say, Texas is big on everything—including dogs. Doggies vacationing in the Lone Star State can look forward to wide-open vistas, plentiful parks and beaches, and welcoming accommodations. Whether you and your dog are into the shopping and café scene of urban modernity, or you prefer hiking trails and campgrounds, you’ll never run out of fun things to do in Texas. Nature lovers can check out the Barton Creek Greenbelt Preserve in Austin, the Arboretum and Nature Center in Houston, or the Palo Curo Canyon State Park. Dogs should be on-leash, but they are welcome to hike and stay alongside their owners in outdoor public spaces.
The Blue Lacy has been Texas’ official state dog since 2005.
The most popular breed of dog among pet owners in Texas is the Golden Retriever.
