Get a smaller dog. I have been taking my dog sailing since he was 8 weeks
old and has yet to go in the drink. He is a very vicious boatweiler
(yorkiepoo). At 7 pounds he doesn't take up much space and only eats the
ends of the sheets. Remember small dog small messes. Now my question. If I
were in a single handed race and the dog helps pull sheets am I
disquilified?
