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.

Louisiana is one of the top ten U.S. states in dog-friendly rankings. Here, dogs are welcome on all state park trails and campgrounds, as well as overnight cabins. It’s a beautiful place to get back to nature, especially with your best furry friend at your side. When a day at the beach isn’t complete without the canine member of the family, take a trip to Rutherford Beach, Holly Beach, North Beach or one of the other dog-friendly stretches of sand located in Louisiana. One of this state’s top pet-friendly attractions is the state capitol grounds in Baton Rouge, where manicured gardens stretch for 27 acres.
The Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog was made Louisiana’s official state dog in 1979.
The favourite dog breed among pet owners in Louisiana is the Labrador Retriever.
