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.

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.
