Sailing Dogs

I read an article in a sailing magazine about a type of dog from Norway (I think) which was bred to go on sailing boats. It has a sixth sense for land or somesuch thing.

I need a dog, and it would be great to be able to take it onboard with me, so one of these sounds ideal.

Anyone know what they are? And where I can get one?

Ta!

I think most dogs like being on a boat, but don't know which one you're thinking of specifically.
We have an Alaskan Malamute and he used to love the mobo, but he's a bit old now so can't get down the companionway on Sixpence, and he's not too keen on the extra rocking motion on deck either

Charbonneau is a 40' sailboat. Included in our crew are two large dark-golden retrievers, Max & Bailey. Pets on-board has been one of our biggest challenges and continues to provide humor, frustration, and innovation in our daily lives.

Hi all

I hope some one can sort this question for me.

The question is with regards to dogs on yachts.

What is the legal stand point, 1 if I just sail around the British Isles, 2 What if I sail outside British waters

Thanks


Dan
