The Miniature American Shepherd is a small herding dog that resembles a smaller version of the Australian Shepherd. It is a true herder, known for being bright, self-motivated, and energetic. Originally known as the Miniature Australian Shepherd, the breed's name was changed to Miniature American Shepherd in the 1990s; the breed was formed by a split of the Australian Shepherd breed by the AKC, and the incorporation of dogs previously known as Miniature Australian Shepherds. These pups are loyal, devoted, and protective of their families, but can be reserved around strangers. They also have an affinity for horses. Given their double coats, they require regular grooming.

Many businesses in Maryland welcome four-legged guests, and there are dog-friendly activities scheduled year-round for the social, energetic doggy of this state. Hit up the beach with your furry family members at Down Park Dog Beach in Pasadena, Quiet Waters Park Dog Beach in Annapolis, or Dog Beach at Matapeake Park in Queen Anne’s County. Since dogs aren’t allowed generally in restaurants or bars in this state, it’s a good idea to stick to pet-friendly neighbourhoods while visiting or spending the day in town. In Baltimore, that includes Mt. Washington, Butcher’s Hill, Charles Village and Locust Point, where residents have access to large yards, dog parks, nature trails and even the odd pet-friendly bar or two.
In 1964 the Chesapeake Bay Retriever was declared the official dog of Maryland.
Most Maryland dog lovers prefer the state dog, as well as Labradors, German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers.
In Baltimore, the American Pit Bull Terrier is the favourite mixed breed!
