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.

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.
