I've wanted a dog to go with me and enjoy a good life doing outdoorsy things. I couldn't have asked for a better buddy.
Here is today, kicking back while tolling for salmon.

Never had a dog trusting enough to swim up to me and just relax in my arms in deep water. I just put my hand under his chest and held him up. No kicking or moving around. He also would just go far enough towards shore and sit in the water and watch, kinda like playing lifeguard.
The wife and I are getting very attached to him. We never have to correct him or raise our voice. Just talk to him like a human and he seems to understand exactly what we are saying. I could give lots of examples, but he is one smart, loyal dog.

I love my dog!
