It can climb the rigging, alert you to newcomers, perform menial tasks and,
in your case, give you a competitive chess game.

Your wings are showing. Isn't immortality enough for you? WHat
more can we offer?

....you can train a dog to not go on the boat....

Doesn't your wife get angry when you keep her off?

You Yanks are really geographically challenged.... it's a Belgian Barge
Dog. I hate it when they crop tails and dock ears. Nice little dog though.
Good Luck...

| Hello Katy,
|
| Here in Maui I've meet a couple from Holland that have a dog called a
| Schipperky, thats German for little Captain. He's a small all black
| dog that is awesome on a boat, No tail, they love to swim, the do not
| smell like a wet dog when they are wet. He's been 3/4 the way around
| the earth via sail and has never lived ashore. They put a small 2'X 2'
| piece of canvas on the deck near the stern that the dog uses every
| time. They just toss it overboard and rinse it and put it back on
| deck. You can not row up to their boat without that dog barking. The
| dog also barks every time the bilge pump cuts on. He told me the dogs
| where raised in Antwerp to guard barges on the canals in Europe. They
| are also used to De-rat the barges and boats. Hes excellent at eating
| crabs, he catches his own and does a great job killing and eating
| them. He's the coolest dog I've ever seen and the perfect size for a
| boat, and he sure aint no sissy poodle. Everwhere Jergen goes on or
| off that boat his dog is by his side. I'm getting a puppy ASAP.

How many of you take your dogs on board. How do you go on with them
needing to "use the loo", both ways g, if you are sailing say,
overnight?

This guy named Bobsprit takes dogs aboard his boat all the time
and never has trouble training them not to poop. Here are some
pictures of them.
