Boating Pets?

Vizsla?

Yep. She’s just over a year old.

You guys are making me want to bring my dog. I was always worried about the Vinyl getting damaged. Any suggestions for a life jacket for a 45lb Springer Spaniel?

We make sure her nails are trimmed before she can be on the boat. We do it at home with a dremel. Otherwise anything else should clean up. She is 40-45 pounds and the life jacket is a Ruffwear medium I think. It seems like the small would be too tight on ours.

We do the same with our Vizsla.

These are the only 2 recent pics I have on my phone. He is a ham.

Is he much of a swimmer? I've never heard of one of those (pit bull?) being much of one nor a bulldog or boxers. That's not to say they don't like being on the boat and with you. He looks like a great dog!

@PEARCE American Bully breed was created 25 years ago breeding english bulldog american staffshire and pitbull all the bad traigts from those breeds where weeded out to creat the ultimate family companion breed, these are amazingly loving dogs very loyal to the family and great companions, not a good swimmer. American Bullies its the fastest growing breed in the USA the most expensive was sold for $724k, Google American Bully it will make you want one. it happened to me, i didnt want any more dogs after mine died of old age 20 years ago now I so glad i found him.

Took our baby girl out for the first time. She had a blast. Tired us out a bit keeping an eye on her. She gets car sick but no problem in the boat so that's fortunate.
She peed in the boat though. How do you relieve your dogs? Just make sure to go ashore occasionally?

yes take him to shore every so often, mine doesnt jump on the water so he lets me know e=when its ok for me to carry him, 85lbs lol.

How long did it take your pups to learn to just float with the life jacket? Mine would just swim until she wore herself out and then she would try to climb me.

Our two are getting used to it. The big guy Enzo is not very brave, but he is getting used to it. The little one is Madison, and she is part fish or something, she loves the boat and the water.

Well after taking the two wiener dogs out on the water the wife and I finally settled on a boat name.

Don’t have a picture but our 8 month old golden retriever will jump off the tube to eat the bubbles off the wake. Feel sorry for her when I see her body contort when she hits the water. She will retrieve sticks and logs almost all day long.
