Hello. I'm sure this is covered somewhere in this forum but I am searching for general info about dogs on the trail. I need to know things like where I can/can't have them, what my options are there and the like. Ive done a lot of backpacking but not with a dog before.
I am planning a thruhike next summer and all of a sudden, I find myself with a rescue about a month ago. He is mid aged, black lab/hound of some kind and he LOVES to walk. It seems he will walk all day... Also he's sweet as hell. I just had to take him, so now I have to rectify him with my hiking plans. Before next summer I'm going to try and get him out for as many hikes as possible (as soon as I get him some boots.) Wish me luck! We're going to go through a lot of milk bones!
