The Pekingese Shih Tzu cross—affectionately known as the Peke-a-Tzu in honour of a certain yellow cartoon character—is an adorable little teddy bear of a dog. Weighing just 10-16 pounds, The Peke-a-Tzu has a short snout and long, floppy ears, and a long dense coat. These dogs need regular professional grooming to keep that coat under control, just like their long-haired Pekingese relatives. Don’t be fooled by these dogs’ tiny size—they are independent and usually prefer walking to being held!

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.
