What happens if you try to match the vibe of different East Texas towns and match them up as dog breeds? It might sound strange, but when you think about it, each dog breed and each town have their own personality. And let's be honest, two of the best things in life are living here in East Texas and having dogs at home that show you unconditional love.

First off, you can’t just base the dog breeds on the mascots used in East Texas as there are some mascots that are used by multiple schools. This takes time to think through which breeds match each town.
