This breed is a cross between the Chihuahua and the Shih Tzu. It's a small dog, reaching between 7 and 10 inches in height and weighing around 3 to 9 pounds when fully grown. Shih-Chis are energetic and love being trained with positive reinforcement and interesting games. Loyal and even a little possessive, these dogs are fine in an apartment or a house with yard space. They need plenty of exercise and socialization with young children and other animals.

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.
In 2022, a Louisiana-born Giant Schnauzer named Bayou became the first of his breed to win AKC’s Best in Show!
