Skippermark Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 This is Max. 3 year old lab. He would be happy caching all day long. Quote
+Gorge_Hiker Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 This is Max. 3 year old lab. He would be happy caching all day long. This is Conrad, my 95# swimming, geocaching, loveable black lab and german shepherd mix, but mostly a lap dog! Conrad will be one year next month. He LOVES geocaching, especially if we go near water. Unfortunately there are a few caches around with parks that don't allow dogs, and of course those freeway intersections, on those he stays home and pretends to guard the place Quote
+sportside Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Gracie, a four year old Shetland Sheepdog. I blame getting into Geocaching on her... she needs walking and I am tired of the neighborhood. The worse part of caching with her is checking for ticks afterward... 'Anchored' to the backpack while I check out the view off the cliff. Quote
+HuggyFamily Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Kheara is our new geo-dog. She's a 4-month old Australian Labradoodle. The Poodle genes make her smart; the Lab genes make her dig holes and eat things she's not supposed to. She loves geocaching and anything to do with the outdoors. Quote
+Ambrosia Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Well, we have a new dog, but we haven't been able to cache with her yet. She seems to do very well on the trail and with the fam, so I think we'll have lots of good caching times soon. We have waymarked with her already, though. She's an 18 month old chocolate lab named Abby. I'm trying to decide whether to make her a travel bug or a geocoin. Quote
+catsnfish Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Our canine cacher is Wedge. known to Groundspeak as Wedge the Cacher. We've taken her along some trails and park and grabs so far and in a few weeks she'll take her first long distance cache trip with us. Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Tristin (Mini Australian Shepherd 1yr.) and Dakota (Border Collie 12 yrs.) and the subjects of most of my caching gallery pics Quote
+Scooter38401 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Skippy the Wonder Dog. A 3 yr old Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix. He is also a slacker at times refusing to go down into ravines. Big Sissy! Quote
+m.austin Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Tory is my 16 month old dalmatian. She loves the walking, the smells, meeting up with people, running in and out of my legs in an attempt to knock me to the ground so she can maul me with kisses, but most of all, she loves cows. No idea why. And no clue what she'd do if she actually caught up with one! She sure makes caching more fun! Quote
+sportside Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 but most of all, she loves cows. No idea why. Are they spotted cows? Looks like she could use a new leash... Quote
+We Gotta Hunt Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Here's me and mathilda on a cold feburary day . It's hard to tell she's a miniature schnauzer with all that fur Quote
+m.austin Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 but most of all, she loves cows. No idea why. Are they spotted cows? Looks like she could use a new leash... I never made the spotted cow connection! You are probably right! And yes, she has a tendency to play tug of war with her leash, so she gets a new one every month. Of course that's about how often I change purses, so at least we coordinate! Quote
Skippermark Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 This is Conrad, my 95# swimming, geocaching, loveable black lab and german shepherd mix, but mostly a lap dog!Conrad will be one year next month. He LOVES geocaching, especially if we go near water. Unfortunately there are a few caches around with parks that don't allow dogs, and of course those freeway intersections, on those he stays home and pretends to guard the place 95 pounds. That's about what Max weighs. Caching with dogs is sooo cool, but there are the occasional parks that don't allow them. I always feel so bad when we can't take him because when we get home, he greets us like we've been gone for years. Quote

+GRANPA ALEX Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Mine, too, is an Australian Shepherd I have trained him (easy to train a smart dog like an Aussie) to never let me out of his sight. SO, he runs ahead, runs back and around all day . . . going, probably, ten miles to my one in the woods and uneven terrain. The last trip, I had to actually pick him up off of a log over which he was high-centered on the way back to he car and then again to put him in the car because he was so exhausted . . . he loves the time spent caching but is no help in finding the prizes.

+team moxiepup Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 This is Moxie. She's 3 1/2 years old now, and has been caching with us since we started when she was 10 months old. She absolutely loves walking on all the different trails that geocaching brings us to! If there are rocks to hop or downed tres to run along, all the better. She's like a little goat! We usually take pictures of her with Tb's and sometimes geocoins. Here she is doing her very best to resist the temptation to grab the bunny Tb and rip it's stuffing out. She's so good! Quote
+Wadcutter Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Heading home after a long, cold day of caching. Walking in the water always makes your feet feel better. Quote
+WatchDog2020 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 CY - We rescued him last march from the shelter when he was 9 months old. Great on a leash but tends to get a mind of his own off. Even found a cache once for me. I was 30 foot off and he dragged it out of a bush. Of course he chose the ball that was in it. Quote
+TeamThom Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Sherman. He is a 9-year old golden retriever. Quote
+Sagefox Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) We don't have a dog but sometime we cache with Chloe of the cache team called Wienerdog. Edited October 18, 2008 by Team Sagefox Quote
+Super_Nate Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 A couple years ago, the geo-dogs took over the forums with a forum thread and a large geocaching event! It was a lot of fun. Check out the archives: Here is the forum thread Here is the event page Quote

IronMaiden Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 This is our 9 year old Brittany Spaniel, Rusty or his pedigree name is "Brandy's Rusty Stub's" This is Rusty near a cache with Ironman114, it was 90°+ where they were and he decided to take a break in the creek. He likes to go hiking with Ironman114 whenever he can. The last time Criminal and Ironman114 went hiking to Wonderlake, Rusty was in the truck ready to go. I had to admit it was funny to see. Sadly, he had to stay home with me. But he might get to go next time. Quote
+AUFishHead Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Unfortunately, we just lost one of the best geodogs ever at the all too young age of 4. (Geodog Dakota if you happened to see her name on any logs around central FL and other places). She was an all around great dog. She was wonderful on the trails. She always had to "scout" the trail ahead, but would never get more than about 50-100 ft ahead and then she would stop and wait. She also learned how to find caches with out being trained. I guess she figured out that when we went out walking through the woods and I stopped and started looking around that we were trying to find something. I assume she smelled the scent of those who had previously found the cache. She would find it and just stand quitely next too it until I caught on to what she was doing. This happened numerious times! I had a few caches in an area near our house where I took her several times a week for a walk/run. On three separate occations I went out with friends who were looking for the caches. All three times she gave away the location of all of the caches by heading directly to them and sniffing them. Funny thing is that not once did the cacher notice. I told all of them afterwards and they couldn't believe it. She was with me when I hid them and serviced them, so I guess she just remembered exactly where they were. She will be greatly missed. We just adopted a new geo-pup yesterday. I will have to get her out on the trail as soon as she is big enough. Quote
+ChileHead Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I do most of my caching with ChileDog Barkley. He especially loves the long hikes, but really dislikes multis where I have to poke around and stop moving. He's a 2.5 year old goldendoodle. Quote
+BoggyWoggy Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) Jim Dandy and Dood are brothers who've spent their entire lives (7+ years) shoulder-to-shoulder. They don't get to cache as often as they'd like, but when they do, they are patient and helpful. http://C:\Users\costco\Pict...#092;geocaching adventures!\geo photos\DSCN6276.JPG Edited October 19, 2008 by BoggyWoggy Quote

I know she is over the Rainbow Bridge looking for geocaches there! Please give your new Geo-pup a big belly rub from us! Quote

+PT_Tex Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) I cache with my dog Molly. She is a 1yr.old Jack Russell mix. I took her on her 1st cache the day after we got her when she was 10 weeks olds. All have to do is get out my cache bag and she’s running to the door. Sometimes she has helped my by smelling where people have been. I found one in a bush one day that was having trouble with. She helped my today walking in the woods. I missed the trial going out and she turned and went down it. I think she may have following her scent. I don't know how to entry a picture.Ypu can look at my profile to see them.

WanderWomen Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 This is WanderDog, AKA Cara Mia. She is 10 years old but you would never guess it by the way she moves. She loves to run ahead and off trail to smell everything. This is her on the way up to the Hawk Observatory Tower Cache in WV. Quote

+johnling Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Great caching dogs, all of them! As it is hunting season here in Michigan I feel the need to warn everyone NOT to take you dogs with you during hunting season and be careful yourself! Not all hunters should be in the woods. They shoot first and look to see if they hit something and what it was when it is too late. Quote

I have spent a LOT of time searching out caches in areas that do not allow hunting. There are a lot I can't do now, but even with orange I just feel safer waiting until March... Quote
+The Cachster Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I have a 110 pound Berniese mountain dog who loves to crash through the brush (bushwacking) and chew on sticks at the cache site (he hats urban micros) Quote

It's something I had forgotten about until I saw it in the New England forum the day after the season opened, so I imagine others have too. No one want to lose a companion like that... do they make orange jackets for dogs that would be a good idea Yes they do.

+uxorious Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) My fur kids are Zeus, and Luna. Zeus is a Belgian Malinois, he is the darker color of the two. The other one is Luna, and she is a mixed breed, but is mostly Anatolian Shepherd. These two are one of the main things I enjoy when out caching. I try to plan my cache trips for the dogs. Keeps me and them all a little more active. Edited to ask if anyone can tell me how to get a larger picture to post. This one is on Photobucket, and should show larger.
