It is a nice boat. Are you in Owen Sound?

The good things about standards - Very smart, very clean ( a large dog
that can be an inside house dog with no shedding), opportunists, (will
cozy up to anyone in the family or friends circle to get the best
current deal), large enough to seem fierce (provided you don't show
cut them), although very gentle.

The bad things - high maintenance, require regular grooming, sometimes
too smart, become willful, do not like to be left out of any action.

This one has never been sailing, acquired her since we sold our boat
and those friends we have sailed with since have not expressed an
interest in her as crew.

Quick query, Frank: is it possible that you were a pro ski patrolman at
Breckenridge in the mid 70s?? We had a guy by your name on the patrol then.
Just curious.

Although I make an annual trek to Colorado for a week of skiing, I've
never been accused of being good enough to be on a ski patrol.

Fairly common German name. Lots of them in Colorado. Even have a
namesake Mansion in Golden. No, as hard as I've tried, I can't find
any geneological link to that moneyed side of the family.

What is the right dog for a sailor? Not an easy question
to answer. Sailors, and everyone else, need to choose
their dog based on the family character, lifestyle, and
circumstances, just like choosing a boat

your dog wisely?

Scupper is a Boston. We aren't too sure how he likes
sailing since he's only been once...He puked in Scotty's
cockpit. To be fair, it was cold and rough. He is great
living aboard, can swim very well, and has a surprisingly
fierce guard-dog bark. He likes to be with us whatever
we're doing; fireworks, Blue Angels, Reinbeck airshow, but
will stay quietly home alone if need be without eating the
cushions. He loves everything; kids, adults, cats, dogs,
deer, tortoises, bugs...you name it, he wants to play with
it! He's agile but knows when not to leap!
(Haha, they just set off fireworks at the Academy...Scupp's
up on the house!)
The boat's big enough for him and we have access to plenty
of room for the weekly 'Burst'. At 23lbs. he's easy to
manage and the short hair doesn't clog the bilge like the
cat's did. He's just the best dog in the world...for us!

We got our dog just a few weeks ago - he's only been out on the boat the
once to date. The boat, being a 25' trailer sailer - isn't exactly
endowed with massive amounts of space, so we think a small dog fits the
bill. He's still just a puppy - so we've all got a lot of learning
ahead of us.

Yes! A stuffed one! It doesn't eat, crap, need exercise, stink, poke its
tounge into one's mouth or hump your leg. A dog is like a child - I can
happily enjoy other peoples without the bother of having one myself.

Our dog is Molly, a Portuguese Water Dog. She's completely at home on
the water, and loves being on the boat. She instantly understood how
to use the trampoline, and so was boat-broken before she was house broken.

If Porties have a flaw, its that they are very high energy. Molly
gets a one hour walk early in the morning, and then gets a one hour
free run in the dog park. That slows here down for a few hours, but
she's ready to go again in the afternoon. Needless to say, if she's
cooped up for a few days on the boat she gets a bit weird.

Most Porties love to swim, but though Molly loves the water, she won't
actually swim if she doesn't need to. She'll actually walk on her
hind legs in two feet of water! She's slowly getting over this, so we
have hopes that she'll be more eager in few years.
