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.

The north-eastern coastal state of Massachusetts was one of the first regions of the Americas where Europeans settled a few centuries ago. When settlers came to these shores, they often brought their canine companions along with them. There were two dogs on the Mayflower, and they didn’t take the long voyage from England just to keep their families company! Dogs were working animals in the early European settlements of Massachusetts, protecting livestock from wolves, foxes and other predators. Most of those first immigrant dogs were Mastiffs, Greyhounds and English Setters. By 1784, there were an estimated 30,000 dogs in the entire state.
Massachusetts dogs Duke and Huntah have sniffed out COVID-19 at more than a dozen schools in the state.
The Massachusetts state dog is named after the capital city: the Boston Terrier.
