Every once in a while I get the bug to try to take out my collies in a canoe. Would probably push it more but hate to think they could become gator snacks. Too many gators in the water around here to chance tipping over. Was thinking of making an out rigger to keep us from tipping over. Maybe even a sponson if I get desperate enough. Which would work the best? Any links to plans?
Any way the smooth collie will not sit still long enough and gives a whole new meaning to rock the boat. If I could just find the power outlet on her could probably power the eastern seaboard with electricity. Now the American Boarder Collie association Boarder Collie has an off switch and feels the best when sitting so he can look at me. The boarder collie will be the be the best one to train to be a canoe dog. Any tips?
P.S.
Have to explain the whole "American Boarder Collie Association" thing. The AKC Boarder collies are breed for different things than the American Boarder Collie Association that are breed for how they work and that is it. They call the AKC ones Barbies. Any way there is a large difference in the way the dogs train, learn and work. Mine is a "hard" dog that some times you have to work hard at to get his attention to a new job. He concentrates very hard on his given task.
