New Buddy Has Arrived


We brought him home Monday night. His name is Otis. We gave him that name because his litter was born in Otis, Oregon. He weighs 17 1/2 pounds and is 17 weeks old. I'll be training him to accompany me when fishing on foot and also to ride in the canoe and motorized fishing boat. I've had four labs before him so I generally know what to expect. Nice to have a fishing buddy again who can go when I can.

Nice! I rarely take Panga along with me. She spooks all the fish!

Hi John,
Unless I can train him to stay away from the water I will have the same problem. That probably sounds impossible with a Lab, but I actually did have one that I succeeded in teaching to stay back from the water until I told him it was OK. He would sit quietly and wait until I was finished fishing.

I take my dog with me on my Sevylor and he loves it! I was afraid that he would jump off the boat but he actually loves being in it. It's one of the best company one can have with them.
