They are loyal and protective companions, making them ideal for experienced owners who can provide the necessary mental and physical stimulation.

Vermont is a very dog-friendly state, where you can find artist Stephen Huneck’s Dog Mountain. Dog Mountain is more than a dog park—it’s a public art gallery, a monument dogs living and gone, and a joyful active experience. There are plenty of activities available to owners and pets throughout the state. Take a jaunt along the Dog-Friendly Beer Trail of Vermont and try a cold glass of what ails you while your dog makes friends with the staff. From hiking trails to pet-friendly lodgings and campsites, you and your dog are sure to feel welcome almost wherever you go in the Green Mountain State.
