We boat with a vicious guard Lab. He keeps those evil seagulls at bay.

Good for you for getting another boat dog/furry friend/family member. We can't imagine cruising without Morgan.

When starting a new discussion you can start a poll with the discussion. Just scroll down to the bottom.

Most marinas do not allow live a boards to have dogs. We had a dog but she passed away. I grieved for weeks after. However, as longs as we are a NON dirt dweller we will not.

wingspar, truly sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. We had a thread with some great dogs earlier. I will put up a link to that thread.

Also, here is another picture of our boat dog, Troy. Here he is "nervously" (not really) crossing the Gulf Stream.

At our marina, I've noticed more than one liveaboard-boat having three large dogs.

I like friendly dogs when they're someone else's dependent/responsibility. If I chose to have one, it would probably be the non-shedding Portuguese waterdog.

Angus and his sister like to ride in the skiff. They had trouble turning around on the sailboat.

We always boat with dogs!!!

We have always boated with dogs. All of them the same breed. Here is the current owner of our boat. The breed is Little River Duck Dog. The smallest of the purebread retriever breeds, it is the official dog of Nova Scotia (Little River is the place in NS where the breed is said to have orginated). The breed has an alternate, more cumbersome name but we much prefer the original name.

We boat with our Newfoundland dog 'Bo'.

Looks like Puff killed one of your cushions all over the bow.

Sounds like a great dog! Did it take long to get the Newfieese out of him/her?

Diesel is looking great, and quite grown up. They all look great, but Shepherds rock!

These are our boat dogs. Max is on the left and he is a rescue. Maddie is on the right and we got her as a puppy. They are great watch dogs. I lost over 20 pounds this past summer from taking them on walks every day.

Two dogs. Big black one, Victor, we got on purpose as a pup. White one Kodie was inherited from daughter. Victor is 14 and can not hop over logs anymore so no more beach landings. Marinas til he leaves us. I can't imagine getting another dog as nice and good as Victor. Kodie is cute but a pain sometimes...http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=14543&stc=1&d=1354768065

Kodie looks to be a spitz.

Scrappy, our Border Terrier, served as an active crew member every one of her 14 summers. She spent nearly 1/4 of her life onboard.

My wife would love to take her two black Pugs on the boat but I don't for two reasons:
1. They're too stupid to not just walk off the swim platform or jump off a cockpit seat while underway and we'd never be able to get back to them in time to rescue them. I'm not sure she'd ever forgive herself if one of them drowned.
2. They shed black hair all the time. Not a good thing in a boat with a light color interior.

Beachcomber is a "Pet Hair Free Zone" and going to stay that way.

Kodie looks to be a spitz.

American Eskimo Dog. Also known as an Eskie. They are of the Nordic Dog (Spitz like) family. They come in three different sizes a lot like Poodles, 9"to 12" Toy, over 12" up to and including 15" Miniatures and over 15 up to and including 19" Standard.

But then again who knows?

Nice looking PWD Donny, Like to see him in person some time. Looks like he has a nice head.

Otis is our Portuguese Water Dog. He loves the boat but is not fond of swimming.

Desi is a 10 year old Beagle Bluetick mix. Hes a hunting dog that hates guns and fireworks. Probably the reason someone dumped him on the road, their loss. He loves dinghy rides. He is very content on the boat. I just wish he would pee in the scuppers.
