I love them.

I have never lived w/o one.
Great companions and some wonderful fishing dogs.

I have a question for some of ROFF

What do you do when you are in or near a campground?

I currently own a miniature American Eskimo. At camp, I often let him
off the leash....he more or less hangs around me. I do NOT take him to
the stream with me, as he barks at all familiar souls he spots.
On the other hand, I have owned a couple of dogs who were perfect
fishing companions. One would mainly stay near you and nap, the other
would wander the nearby woods, but never go in the water. He would bark,
but only to alert me of strangers. Friends of mine, he would amble
alongside, as if to escort them to my spot, and then dash off again
after rabbits and squirrels.
