This popular breed gets its name from the Mandarin phrase “Shih Tzu” meaning “Little Lion”. And what a fitting name, given their long hair and spunky personality! This lively puppy loves affection and a good cuddle, but also doesn’t mind being independent. They walk with an air of royalty, perhaps because they were the chosen breed to accompany Chinese emperors. They are fiercely loyal and happiest when by your side. These puppies are perfect for older couples and don’t mind other pets, as long as they don’t take away from their cuddle time with their owners. This breed remains small at 9 to 16 lbs and lives up to 16 years old.

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.
