The Lapponian Herder is a versatile and intelligent breed originating from Lapland, primarily bred by the Sami people for herding reindeer. Known for their loyalty and adaptability, these dogs thrive in active households and require regular exercise and mental stimulation. With a sturdy build, a thick double coat, and a friendly demeanor, they make excellent companions. However, potential owners should be prepared for their high energy levels and vocal nature, as well as the need for early socialization and training.

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.
