Our last dog was a bully. She made it to almost 13 years. She couldn't handle the heat and obviously didn't swim. Family has a place on Norris Lake in TN. We'd take her out for cruises on the pontoon in the evening. I know the lab will be great when we're down there. Just leary about the Baja.

I have never been one to let a fishing hook or a dog anywhere near the vinyl on my boats.
We are considering a rescue. A small lab from a shelter. She's already full grown and seems really laid back and gentle. However, we bought our Baja 342 at the end of last summer. We've never had a genset, air, all the goodies before. We plan to do a lot of all-nighters this summer on the river.
Does anyone boat with dogs?

Downtown - how do you get your dog in and out of the boat when you're anchored up?
We take our center console over to a local sandbar / hangout spot all the time in the summer, and I would love to take my dog.
Problem is, she's a 180lb mastiff.
I'm sure I could get her in and out of the boat at the dock, but not sure about out on the water.

I love my dogs, but they stay at the lake house when the boat goes out. I could deal with the shedding, but I'm too particular about the gel and vinyl. We share a ton of time with them in the water and on the dock, though.
