AN ACT designating the state dog breed.

SB 114 designates the Treeing Walker Coonhound as Kentucky's official state dog. This ceremonial bill, which has no funding or regulatory impact, formally adds the breed to Kentucky's list of state symbols. It recognizes the breed's historical roots in Kentucky (developed by local breeders in the 1800s), its hunting heritage, and its role as a companion animal. The bill affects all Kentuckians symbolically, as it establishes a new official emblem for the state without changing laws or policies.
