A mix between the Akita and the Chow Chow, the Akita Chow is a large and often single-minded dog who needs a confident owner. Sometimes called Chakitas, these dogs are loyal and loving as well as occasionally stubborn. Best suited to a larger home with a yard, the Akita Chow makes a great running or hiking partner for lovers of the great outdoors. At 88 to 145 pounds, they need plenty of room to run around and prefer to do so in the company of family.

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.
