A long time ago a good fishing friend had a Springer Spaniel -
Real cute - loved the water- and she knew her place perfectly as ballast
for
a canoe.
We fished Squam Lake in NH
The three of us in the canoe - the dog was up front Gary in the rear and
me
in the middle - just paddes
Salmon - we *got a few


So
Just thinking of a resucue dog Brittany or Springer Spaniel...
............


All of our animals are real happy and friendly so... I do not want to
upset
that


Has anyone had experience or ever have one of these cute critters?
And more to the point has anyone gone fishing with one?


Thanks
Fred


A suppose a Newfoundland is too big - but a great resuce dog.

In *Swansea, Wales there was a famous character - "Swansea Jack" - a black
Labrador dog, who reputedly rescued several people who had fallen into the
dock. *So much so is his fame that there is a statue to his memory in
Swansea.

I'm afraid, Bill, that "rescue dog" has a different meaning here than
there. Here, it usually means that the person rescues the dog, not
vice versa. Whether Fred intended it that way I'm not sure, but I
expect he did.

As someone once said, we're two countries separated by a common
language.
