DHD - you are meant to be cooing over the dog not asking questions about the weird contraption at the rear

I'ts now been removed - but the previous owner used it as a seat/table over the fuel tank -it could be removed - laid over the main jockey console and one could then eat cucumber sandwiches from it - no seriously that's what it was designed for - especially during Cowes week - strange but oh so very true - as we never eat anything as grand as cucumber we've taken it out altogether

What a great RIB sized dog.
When ours comes up for replacement (sadly) I think we will go for a compact version. Unfortunately ours at 6 stone and very long legs, does not find it easy and any chop.

Looks a little like yours, but on steroids! Bring on the jokes .... We have a poodle!

But it is the proper sized one, 6ft tall on her back legs. Too gangely to cope with extreme movement, even when "jammed" between jockey seats.

Awwww !

Let's have more of the 'Pic's of 4 legged crew members' thread! I don't have anything to add to it yet but I have friends with a mostly-German-shepherd who may or may not get on well with the SR4, he's quite a lump so could be interesting ....

Our beasts love being in the boat. When the tan Husky was young, and I would be working on the boat in the garage over the winter, he would sit and howl at me until I hauled up into the boat with me...

Stoo - they are a couple of stunning dogs you have there - really majestic

Limey - your's looks like a real softie - glad to hear he's okay on the RIB - yet to sea trial our one - lol

250knts - Poodle - cool - now you've got me worried as our one is supposed to be a Retriever cross Poodle and is still only 5 months - hoping she does'nt get any bigger but her Dad was a Standard as yours is -

That'll be a golden doodle then! They can often get up to standard poodle size - what colour is she?

Ours is a plain old Labrador called Honey, and luckily she comes from working stock, so she won't get too big at all - doesn't mind going on boats at all, especially if it involves a little food bribery!

Cookee - she's lovely

Yes she is a Golden Doodle - just try to avoide the term as there seems to be so much bad press about "designer" dogs - she is lovely though very even tempered and wanting to please

She's white - well more dirty cream really - I picked her as her Mum was a very slight Retriever - in the hope that she would'nt be HUGE!!

Knot Yet Monster hopes to train her as a Gun Dog - mmmmm noT sure on that one - currently at puppy training classes with her and doing well on the whistle - her only current retrieve ability seems to be focused on finding "dead" rabbits that can be consumed before anyone notices - not sure how that will go down in the field - "yes Sir she did find the pheasant you shot so badly that was wounded, yes Sir she did bring it back... pardon Sir what was that ... where is it... well she ate it"!!!!

When she first arrived

Honey has a lifejacket - not so important to keep her afloat as she has a typical Labradors affinity to the water, but to pick her up with to get her back on board!

Excellent idea Cookee - once our little one has reached true size will also get her one - she's yet to go out to sea on the RIB

Thanks KY... they're good beasts. The tan guy is 13 now and a purebred Husky. The black fella is our new addition... courtesy of the pound. He's a Husky/Shepherd cross supposedly. Whatever he is, he has a great temperament, and loves the water.

Those are great looking dogs lads - good RIB security too I'd think.

I bought mine from a Pikey when he was a wee pup, he was sold as a Jack Russell purebred but I think there's a bit of something else in there too. He looks more like the real thing since we had his tail docked.

He's quite wilful and is the very divil to keep off furniture. He hates water which is lucky, as I can't find a lifejacket small enough anyway.
