The Akita Shepherd is a crossbreed between the Akita and the German Shepherd. This large dog typically weighs between 70-130 pounds and stands 26-28 inches tall at the shoulder. These dogs have a thick double coat that can be various colours such as white, black, brown and tan. Known for being fiercely loyal and protective, Akita Shepherds are also intelligent and trainable. They make great family dogs, but require consistent training and socialization from an early age.

The dogs of Connecticut are welcomed into many varied establishments, from breweries and salons to parks and campsites. If you and your furry pal are outdoor enthusiasts, you’ll enjoy the Southbury Dog Park, the Bear Mountain Reservation and the Jennings Dog Beach. You’ll find plenty of hiking trails and campgrounds where the two of you can run around and play throughout Connecticut. If you’re both looking for something a bit more cosmopolitan, take a stroll along Evergreen Walk and go right into the boutique shops you find along the way. Leashed dogs can explore the Mystic Seaport Museum shipyard and Mystic River in a small boat alongside their family members.
Like most Americans, the favourite dog of most people in Connecticut is the Labrador Retriever.
You can hike the Cascades trail at Mohegan Lake with your dog off-leash!
Dogs are allowed in the pet-friendly SoNo Collection Mall alongside their owners.
