The deeply affectionate and loyal Bluetick Coonhound is everything a cartoon hound is, and more. Those long, dangling ears and comical howl are just as endearing in person as they are on TV. The Bluetick Coonhound, named for its ticked, or mottled, pattern of blue, black and grey, can reach up to 69 centimetres in height and weigh up to 37 kilograms. These dogs are nocturnal hunters, bred with strong senses of smell and sight. They need to be entertained with clever games and good exercise to keep them from bounding after exciting scents in the wilderness—but Bluetick Coonhounds are also content sleeping the day away at their owners’ feet.

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.
