Meaning & Story

Texas is an American place name derived from the Caddo word 'taysha' meaning 'friends' or 'allies' — the name was applied by Spanish explorers to the indigenous peoples of the region.

Texas is a name with the scale to match a big personality. It has the wide-open, larger-than-life energy of the state itself — bold, proud, and completely sure of itself. Whether you're a Texan by birth or just love the spirit of independence and adventure the name suggests, Texas is an impressive choice for a big, confident dog. It rolls off the tongue with authority and leaves no doubt that this is a pet with presence.
