captpiratedog 98 #76 Posted April 24, 2019 Sailor.. He was a good dog.. Took him everywhere..all the sailing lessons as well when he was a pup because I couldn't leave him in the truck because I'd get hounded by the dog police . Not really the best choice for a boat dog being a Great Dane but it's how it turned out due to circumstances.. He had great balance and could jump into the skiff from the deck and never flip it. Good security as well just because of his size. Dane's are pretty much couch potatos so he was fine just laying around the boat... now he chases the wind One thing you need to remember about dog names that's important is you will be calling that name out loud so don't pick something that's sounds funny like Spanker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
