In Tennessee, the most popular pet dog breeds are Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds and Beagles. As of 2019, however, the official Tennessee state dog is the Bluetick Coonhound. The Bluetick Coonhound is an iconic medium-sized breed that gets its name from the greyish spackle marks on its coat. There are lots of great dog-friendly places to explore in Tennessee with your dog, including Old Hickory Lake, Cummins Falls State Park and Shelby Farms Park. Take a memorable trip for the whole family to the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial & Nature Center in Covington. The site features a dog-friendly nature trail through the woods and wetlands that stretches for half a mile.
