The Akbash is a large, white breed of dog that originated in Turkey. These dogs are similar in looks to Great Pyreneeses and white Labrador Retrievers. However, this muscular breed is distinct in origin. Akbashes were originally bred by shepherds to guard livestock and have protective instincts. Given their breeding history, this breed tends to be gentle with friends and family but reserved with strangers. These dogs not only have high levels of endurance, but are also very intelligent and trainable. For this reason, they are commonly used as security dogs or in search and rescue missions. As a family companion, this breed requires plenty of exercise to stay mentally and physically healthy.

Louisiana is one of the top ten U.S. states in dog-friendly rankings. Here, dogs are welcome on all state park trails and campgrounds, as well as overnight cabins. It’s a beautiful place to get back to nature, especially with your best furry friend at your side. When a day at the beach isn’t complete without the canine member of the family, take a trip to Rutherford Beach, Holly Beach, North Beach or one of the other dog-friendly stretches of sand located in Louisiana. One of this state’s top pet-friendly attractions is the state capitol grounds in Baton Rouge, where manicured gardens stretch for 27 acres.
The Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog was made Louisiana’s official state dog in 1979.
The favourite dog breed among pet owners in Louisiana is the Labrador Retriever.
In 2022, a Louisiana-born Giant Schnauzer named Bayou became the first of his breed to win AKC’s Best in Show!
