Favorite Breed of Dog to Camp with

[ae6black]

What's your favorite breed of dog to camp with in a TD. I understand you go with what you've got. But if you were considering a dog to share such a small space with, what breed would you have? Kids want a dog, so I'am at least considering the possibility of camping with it.

I have a British lab. They are smaller the a American lab. They are more mellow then the American lab . But they do shed a lot . But there is +_- in all dogs.

That's a certified, no-brainer. Golden Retriever.

Shih Tzu - hypoallergenic, loyal, friendly, doesn't bark much (if she does, you better listen), and is a wonderful camping companion. I remember one gathering where her feet didn't touch the ground all evening-she went from lap to lap of the Campers-pretty smart, if you ask me

Shih Tzu

Verna, I have a cross between a Pit Bull and a Shih Tzu.........It's called a "Bullshihtzu".......... I just could not resist.

Boston Terrier, not to big and easy upkeep [short hair].

We love ours. Cairn Terriers. They love all of the camp action, don't shed, and take up very little space in our 5-wide.

For me now it's a border collie lab mix.
Don't bark much ( till needed )
Smart And very loving.

Stout is the best camping dog around. Jack Russell/Pitbull mix. Doesn't bark and loves to have fun and snuggle at night. Love this little guy.

Oscar Mayer all beef

I think the best breed to travel with is the one you have!!! Everyone loves their dogs. Mine, at this time, is a Corgi/Border Collie mix -- VERY smart. In fact, he is the reason I bought my teardrop. I wanted to travel with my dog......

Black lab! Best dogs ever! Golden retriever is a close second.

My current companion is a Great Labradane. My favorite breed Doberman Pinscher. As I camp alone most of the time I want big and scary yet super friendly but no one comes to my site univited to find out.

Art,

A breed with a good demeanor that is generally quiet would be high on my list.

A fun, loving dog that does well with kids, other dogs, and that doesn't bother the neighbors would be ideal to take camping.

We camp with our Goldendoodle, Her first camping trip was when she was around 10 weeks old, we just picked her up just a week earlier. She did great, slept in a small crate in the tent. She then migrated to sleeping at the foot of the air mattress on a thin bed (She is now 45-48 lbs and the crate was to big and took up too much space) to eventually in the sleeping bag with my daughter.

We have taken her on 3 week camping trips with no issues. She rides in the truck, lets us know when she needs to get out, sleeps at our feet in the teardrop, and is easy to train and very smart. She just needs lots of attention and touching or closeness. She wants to be touched all the time. She is very easy going and she has even stayed in motels with no issues. On our 3 week trip camping through Red woods, Yosemite, etc we only boarded her for 2 day when we went into the city (San Francisco).

I highly recommend goldendoodles and she doesn't shed, so no hair gets on anything to worry about

I have to go with the collie. My foamie teardrop is just the right size for my boy and myself. He also helps keep me warm.

LAB! Chocolate lazy, black neuro!, blonde crazy! But a lab is American!!

These are my two camping buddies. I think any Dog breed will be fine at a campground, as long as they have some basic training.
