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.

Dogs and their human companions are welcome all over Kentucky, from the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington to Dinosaur World in Cave City. Whether you’re in the Bluegrass State for business, pleasure, or because it’s your full-time home, you can rest assured there are plenty of fun ways to spend time there with your dog. Start with a popular dog park, such as the one at Highland Hills Park in Fort Thomas, and then get your own special treat at one of Kentucky’s canine-friendly pubs. This state is also home to the Bluegrass Classic and the Kentuckiana Cluster of Dog Shows!
The most popular dog breed in Kentucky is the Beagle.
Kentucky’s own Treeing Walker Coonhound, a local breed from the 1800s, is a favourite to become the official state dog.
