Dog in Water?
« on: August 06, 2008, 04:50:55 PM »
Anyone ever have the issue where they are hunting in the middle of a flooded area and they want to bring there dog with them? Yet, there is really no place for the dog to stay dry...any suggestions on some rigging to keep a puppy from treading water?

I tried that once with my 100lb yellow lab puppy... he swam circles until he got bored then tried to climb up my back! We didn't try it again!

Well there really is no place to put him, anything you suggest?  Camo intertube or something?

innertube with a small square of 1/4 plywood or other light material. You'll have to work with him alot during the off season though. It's a little weird for them to stand on the wobbly, shakey board at first. You might have to let him lean on you a bit if he is a *censored* about it.

Are you going to be hunting from a boat? I seen a pet dock in a Cabelas catalog that attaches to the side of a boat for the dog to climb up on.

I use my Marsh Rat for those conditions and stand beside it with the dog in the Rat.
