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.

Thanks for the clarification and rw is correct - We would give a home to a
distressed animal
So we would rescue the dog
and give a good home w 6 other dogs in the pack running loose all the time

It does & thanks for your post.

I would not want to get in a canoe w a Newfoundland
We had a 150 lb English Foxhound (Kokomo)
We lived in NH and I took him to Maine, to slow rivers & lakes, as a pup to
teach him about the canoe.
He was fine - but...
As he grew I knew there was no way I would get in a canoe w him

No confusion at all really. It was ther context of the requirement of the
dog - !in the canoe" that made me think of rescue ( to save someone) rather
than rescuing a dog from a fate worse than death.

Our languages do tend to diverge at times, it's too much to ask you to get
in line I suppose :-)

Thanks all the same.
