What type, if any, do you bring?

[antiqfreq]

Pets that is.........

We have a 17 year old doggie, mostly mutt, that we bring along. Although she's not doing so well these days.

Jo:cool:

[Festus2]

We have always brought along a dog. A big one. Over the years we have brought along several different varieties. Currently, we have an almost 7 year old Golden Retriever. One with "attitude" I might add.
I don't want to start something here but I can blame this one on my wife who says...."If it doesn't weigh at least 25 pounds, it really isn't a dog." And, as I always do, I totally agree with her. Richard

[cpaulsen]

We always take our 160 lb. yellow lab.

[Steersall4]

Megan, is my yorkie!! just sets and looks out the the front slide out window ! Don't Poop, don't eat, and never needs a trip to the vet. Thats where she is right now, trailer winterized! waitin for us to "Fly The Coop" this next time. when I go out to the trailer next I'll speak to her BUT she won't even Bark !! MY Kinda Doggie !! hehehe !!

[JJnLilly]

We always travel with our "wonder dog" Lilly and our four pound 13 year old cat, Lydia. Lydia is a pure indoor cat (she would not last at 4 pounds in the outside world). Both are great travelers and have been on the road with us since they were very young.

[camperjane]

We can't go anywhere in the camper without "Bo" our long hair chiwawa. He's a total Chick Magnet. Yep, they the ladies can't pass him by.

[ftwildernessguy]

Our 12 year old beagle, Mickey, loves camping and has travelled all over the east coast with us. He's on the chubby side, now, at 30lbs - guess he qualifies as a "real dog" by Richard's wife's standards.;)

[K&Gs3400RL]

Two of our dogs together weigh 25lbs does that count? We have six dogs we take camping, Missy, Dusty, Sassy, Jasmine, MoJo and Scooter. Pom-Bosten Terrior mix, Pom, Pom, Pom, Poodle, and a Yorkie Poo.

[Festus2]

Yes ftwildernessguy, Mickey meets my wife's criteria and is a "bone-a-fide" dog - providing he remains chubby and his weight stays above 25 lbs. Keep up with the treats.
Sorry grumpy, you can't combine weights of two dogs but she likes the names of these two........"MoJo and Scooter". (The truck and 5th look great when hooked up!)

I don't know ...... but ....it sounds to me like a Disney story under witness protection. :D Sorry, Grumpy but I couldn't help myself.

[K&Gs3400RL]

Before we got scooter we had a 120lb Rott named Zoey She had been sick ever since we got her as a puppy. We miss her she was a great Dog.

[Atfulldraw]

Two Blue Lacy's travel with us. Great companions and guard dogs!

We even gave up one of the chairs for a place to put the kennel right by the door ;)

35 and 45 pounders

[campingcpl]

We take our 11 year old Cocker (Lady) with us. She loves to travel and is really a good dog. She has one problem and that is she doesn't like to be left alone.

[dd45529]

I have two Belgian Tevurens. One is 88 lbs and the other 92 lbs. We've never had a problem camping, but now I see some campgrounds/parks are placing a weight limit on the dogs. Both are very docile dogs. What next...a weight limit on the owners?

[tocools]

We have 3 little dogs that we take with us Cowboy, Indy and Giggit

[vipermn]

We have two "mid-sized" little buddies we take on every trip. Max, 14 year old Yorkie-Poo (the old man) and Milo, 5 year old Schnoodle. They love to go camping with us.

[Handysam]

We have a Black Lab/Pitt mix. He's all black and looks mostly like a lab. He goes with us every time we camp. He is two years old. On Fridays when we get home and start throwing things out the front door in the direction of the truck to load up, Harley {the dog} gets his toy in his mouth and knows where we are going.

[dhdb]

One 85lb German Sheppard "Kaiser". He has his own bunk with the boys. Never had any problems with him.

[parklandgroupohio]

I don't like dogs, so I'm planning to bring my cat instead. :D
I'm a feline lover and cats are easier to 'tame' during vacations. Hopefully, my cat won't run away.

[DocData757]

4 cats. 3 Tabbies and 1 Tuxedo. All are indoor cats but one in particular loves to escape. He then sits under the camper just out of reach and just looks at you. Smug little twerp!

[Sparrow5181]

16 year old Beagle - Duke, not moving too fast anymore
9 year old Greyhound - Beau, 75# of couch potato
2 year old Mystery Mutt - Arlo, resident snuggle bug

They are why we needed a more spacious TT!

[Terrydactile]

We bring along our 4 year old Golden/Basset mix, Ella. She weighs 70 lbs and is fit as a fiddle. She loves to be a lap dog but at that weight she doesn't get to stay long.

[Chas883]

We have a jack Russel named BREE.wonderful little dog. Have trouble trusting her in the camper when we are gone, She does good at home ,but in the camper she chewed up curtain once ,and since then we keep her in dog carrier . I hate doing that It seems kind of cruel being she has 480 acres to call her yard at home. Does anyone have any comments on how long is humane to keep in carrier.

[KanTC]

Charlie,

Crating dogs for short periods of time is fairly common now, but I don't know that I've ever heard of a "specific" time limit - for example: "2 hrs max, 3 hrs max", etc.

I'd suggest contacting your vet's office - they may be able to give you some guidelines, OR they may be able to recommend another client/dog owner (or local dog groomer or reputable breeder) who is familiar with crate training.

In the meantime, check your private msg's - I sent some video clips & websites that may be helpful & answer some of your questions.

Terri, the Chevy co-pilot :)

[DocData757]

We're full timing and have 4 cats living with us or maybe it would be more correct to say we have 4 cats that allow us to live with them.

[chuck&gail]

After many years, and six German Shepherds (several were rescues), we decided to go rescue a LITTLE dog after our last most beloved German Sheherd passed away at 15 1/2. We hit all the shelters within 60 miles or so, and finally found just the right little dog. At least he is little compared to German Shepherds.

We now travel with a lovely red tricolor Australian Shepherd. At just under 60 pounds, he is a little darling, and travels very well.

[Terrydactile]

8 year old Golden Shedder ;)

For sure thats what they should call them!!!! Our dog is half basset shedder and half golden shedder. Both breeds are year round heavy shedders. We brush her everyday and run the vacuum cleaner everyday.

Awesome picture and awesome dogs!!

(Moderator's Note:
Lucy, Ethel and Fred are awesome dogs. However, this will be their 3rd photo op in this thread and we do not want the other pet owner's complaining that their pooches are not getting the same exposure on the forum. Perhaps we can refrain from posting any further photos of the three Basset Hounds. I am sure Houndie Dog will not be too upset).

[Me.Bikes.Dogs]

I full time with two dogs. Tilli, a 14 year old Belgian Tervuren who still plays ball

Howdy All;

Have a 4.5 year old Border (couch potatoe), Collie. Name is Rascal (cuz he is).
First attempt to put a photo on here hope it works.

Caption for the pic is;

"I promise I won't stand on my head in cow poo no more...:(

[GMcKenzie]

"I promise I won't stand on my head in cow poo no more...:(

What is the fascination between dogs and cow poop?

Especially when it is below freezing outside and you still gotta wash them.

[hankaye]

Howdy All;

Last month he opted for attempting to sneak up behind a skunk.....

10:45 PM. doin' last out for the night. Temp. was in the teens. ouside "shower" was still winterized... he got an indoor shower. Plenty of Dawn and rinsed with Downey. Worked better than trying to find a coupla gallons of tomato juice. EVERYTHING (including the local Wal-Mart), is closed bt 10:00 PM. Welcome to Central Utah...

[canula2]

Our big boy goes with us, he is a Giant Schnauzer and so far has done very well:o. We love to tell him lets go camping-he runs out and jumps in the truck.

[Me.Bikes.Dogs]

I use this stuff (http://www.sitstay.com/dog/supplies/servlet/product_10001_10001_41426_-1_Skunk+Free%2C+12+oz._59402_59407_) for all the smells my dogs get into. Whether skunks or raccoon poop, it gets the smell off. I always keep a bottle or two in the trailer.

[Bankerbob]

Our little maltese/terrior cross ! She is 13 getting on but still very active and loads of fun:)

[Rowdy51]

We always bring our 2 Goldens (Remington & Brandy) and our Cocker/Beagle mix (Rowdy). The Goldens..., well are just Goldens. They enjoy everything as long as we are there. Rowdy..., well the name tells all.

[badge4]

We bring along our 14 week old brother and sister Pugs, Stella and Crazy Brutus. We sometimes think they have even more fun than we do. ;)

[canula2]

We take our Giant Schnauzer, he is a very respectful camper, a great travel companion and an all around good boy. Because you dont see a lot of them we get to meet a lot of great people stopping by to inquire as to what kind of dog he is. He is our beautiful boy "bouncey:

[North Texas Camper]

Our two labs (1 chocolate and 1 a white yellow) go with us on every trip.

[GidKel]

We bring along Maui, our 3 year old Golden. She loves to go camping with us!

[cpaulsen]

We always bring our 2 dogs. One is a 160LB yellow lab and the other is a lab cross we rescued.

[KSL]

Joey (mostly boxer), Annie (Chocolate Lab) and Lilly (Aus. Sheppard).
We picked out floor plan mostly for them :)

[LeeMedic]

Pets that is.........

We have a 17 year old doggie, mostly mutt, that we bring along. Although she's not doing so well these days.

Jo:cool:

We have two Golden Retrievers that just love to go camping. They are always with us.

[Pete and Jeanne]

Have two toy poodles, Beaux and Zeaux (they are Louisiana Poodles). Together they might make ten pounds so I guess they don't qualify for dogs. They DO love camping tho. Because they're Poods they don't shead and grounds cleanup is a chinch. Camping wouldn't be the same without "Poodle Team Six"... Travel well..
