The 10-16-pound Schipperke is a strong, loyal working dog packed into a little body. Traditionally kept aboard Belgian ships to act as ratters and watchdogs, this thickly coated black dog’s name translates to “Little Captain.” Adaptable to apartment life, the feisty Schipperke has a lot of energy and needs regular play and exercise. These dogs love to be with their families, keeping watch over the household and—true to their birthright—eliminating any rodents they find! The Schipperke shouldn’t be paired with other small non-canine pets.

Dogs and their human companions are welcome all over Kentucky, from the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington to Dinosaur World in Cave City. Whether you’re in the Bluegrass State for business, pleasure, or because it’s your full-time home, you can rest assured there are plenty of fun ways to spend time there with your dog. Start with a popular dog park, such as the one at Highland Hills Park in Fort Thomas, and then get your own special treat at one of Kentucky’s canine-friendly pubs. This state is also home to the Bluegrass Classic and the Kentuckiana Cluster of Dog Shows!
The most popular dog breed in Kentucky is the Beagle.
Kentucky’s own Treeing Walker Coonhound, a local breed from the 1800s, is a favourite to become the official state dog.
Kentucky state parks are dog-friendly!
