Nice pup Solus!  His name is very conservation minded!  TomT can give you plenty of advice on canoe dogs.  He's got one of the best I've ever seen.. pd

Aldo!  That's cool.  As for my dog - I've told others that I didn't have a whole lot to do with how well she does in canoe country.  I got really lucky is all.  I'm sure the first couple years will be a challenge but I know you're up to the right way of doing things.  And this is a very intelligent breed so with maturity you will have one fine companion there. Good choice.

Whenever I take Luna into Ely the first thing we do is play frisbee in the park.  The "Chuck it" brand of soft frisbee holds up real well and it's easy on the dogs mouth.  It's a fun thing to do and these dogs love it!

For the heck of it here's a video I shot in 2014.  Luna was 3 years old and check her out playing frisbee.  You can skip her swimming in the river by going to 1:45.  You might want to turn the sound down, I put on a pretty raucous soundtrack.
