The Australian Kelpie is a hardworking and active dog that stands about 50 centimetres high and weighs between 16 and 23 kilograms. Originally descended from Scottish collies, the Australian Kelpie is better suited to the heat and dry conditions found in much of its adopted country. Given its heritage, the kelpie is instinctually eager to work with sheep and other pack animals, and it needs quite a bit of exercise. Clever, fun and loving, the Australian Kelpie makes the perfect companion to a human with similar energy levels and love of adventure. They are also good with families and never tire of playing with gentle children.

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.
