Whisky is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever; the state dog of Maryland. Mom and Dad are from Maryland, so Whisky is sort of the canine tie to the place they grew up.
Whether he’s a water breed is never in question.
We looked and weren’t able to find that there’s a state dog of New Mexico. Does where you come from or call home have an official dog?

Here is TN it’s the Blue Tick Coon Hound, although I don’t know if that’s official. The University of Tennessee’s mascot is Smokey, a Blue Tick, who is loved by all!

I believe NC has the Plott Hound. We have a mixed breed dog whom people say may be part Plott Hound. And we also have a Chesapeake Bay retriever boen in MD, our son’s dog for 4 years then not a chick magnet, so we have had him with us for 7+ years. Plott hound mix doesn’t like water, can’t keep the Chessie out of the lake.

I had to go look it up via dogpile (like google but better) to find out – the state dog of Virginia is the American fox hound. When I was growing up we had a small cottage on the Chesapeake Bay (in North Beach)and there were always Chessies and Labs around us. Wonderful dogs!!!

Well geez louise, we do! As if my Texas legislators didn’t have anything better to do than spend time talking about a state dog. 🙂

For all that need to know….Michigan does NOT have a state dog. I now proclaim Gus, our shepard/collie mix, the top dog of Michigan. You heard it here first.
Can’t wait to meet the rest of your family..er….animals.
