Chris, if Rex is ok around water--no problem . But if not better either plan on getting wet or not taking Rex. Also if you do you might want to put a life vest on him. Some dogs don't swim as good as some people think they do. JMHOQuote:Originally posted by Chris:

My beagle (the world's best dog, and my best buddy), has traveled thousands of miles on the bow of my canoe. He occasionally falls in, which is why I recommend a dog PFD. A tether is OK, as long as there is absolutely no chance that the tether might be caught on something, and result in drowning the dog. (that is, canoeing a lake with a tether is ok, while a tether on a twisty class 2 stream would dictate NO tether.)Has anyone taken their beagles on a canoe trip before?
