AI Imagines New Dog Breeds for All 50 U.S. States

We’ve seen a lot of creative AI series based on the different U.S. states, from Barbie dolls to Hunger Games contestants. But animal lovers will appreciate this fun new set of AI images. Pet Lab Co. has generated 50 unique dog breeds, one for each state. The results, while not always realistic, are a charming and funny look at what a State Dog might look like.

From the hulking Alabamian Hound to the playful Sunshine State Terrier, the names of the breeds are as cute as the images. Many of the images incorporate key elements from the state. This includes the lei that Hawaii’s Aloha Breeze Hound wears and the lobsters that surround the Lobster Bay Corgi from Maine.

“Each dog feels like a great homage to their namesake and illustrates the individuality of each,” commented PetLab Co.. “Surprisingly, many of the dogs AI created look like medium to large breeds, with only a few of the states represented by small dogs. This doesn’t seem to correlate to the geographic scale of each area, as Texas’ pup is among the smallest created.”

Some breeds, like the Alaskan Wildness Husky, are more rooted in reality, while others are downright surreal. Perhaps the most outlandish of the breeds is Idaho’s Pom-Spud, which looks like a Pomeranian covered in potato slices. Scroll down to see all of the state dog breeds and decide for yourself if they match expectations.
