Labradors, Lab Retrievers, Beagles, German Shepherds, and Bulldogs are some of the most popular breeds in Mississippi. Given that the state has a long, hot summer and Mississippians enjoy hunting, fishing, boating, camping, and other outdoor activities, lets take a look at some dog breeds that are best for Mississippi.
German Shorthaired Pointers in Mississippi: This is a dog that excels at hunting, tracking, pointing, pulling, and joining her humans on a hike or run. German Shorthaired Pointers were originally bred as water retrievers and have a short water-resistant coat. This makes them the ideal pets in Mississippi as they can regulate their body temperature during the hot summers. Keep in mind though that German Shorthaired Pointers in Mississippi will need lots of daily exercise and will fit in best with active individuals or families.
Great Danes in Mississippi: This imposing looking dog is equally at home snuggling up on the couch with you as he is going on a long walk or hike. Great Danes are especially well suited to Mississippi because they love heat. Something to keep in mind though about these tall dogs from the mastiff family though is that they have relatively short lifespans.
Airedale Terriers in Mississippi: This is another breed that adapts well to hot climates like the one we see in Mississippi. However, people looking for Airedale puppies for sale in Mississippi should know that these dogs are extremely energetic with high exercise needs. Also, it’s important to keep an Airedale Terrier busy and mentally stimulated with toys and exercise.
Golden Retrievers in Mississippi: Goldens originated near Loch Ness in Scotland but are now one of the most popular family pets in the US. Golden Retrievers are a great choice for Mississippi, given that they are natural swimmers with a water-resistant coat and webbed feet. Mississippi individuals and families who love to spend time in and around water in the summer can definitely think about brining a Golden Retriever puppy home.
