+thehuntsters Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We take our dog with us most times. She loves it. New smells with all the nature. Our geocaching is a familly and friends thing for us and our dog is a part of it. Quote Link to comment
+Holtie22 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 ZuZu comes with me nearly every time. (Even more than Mrs. Holtie!) She's not much good at sniffing out caches, but she is great company and loves being outside. Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I take my young black lab mutt with me sometimes for hiking caches. He loves to flush out doves and quail along the trail. Bringing enough water for him is a problem though (its gets hot here in Texas). Quote Link to comment
+RoyalRed Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I took our dog out caching with me once and will never do it again. She was a total pain in the A##! Tried to do a nice multi on a park trail. Nice and easy but due to her I had to log a DNF. First the hike took about 100 times longer than it should have due her sniffing every blade of grass and structure located along the route. Then she jumps into a mud hole and does a few rolls. Then starts howling and carrying on because she wants to go home and have a treat. By the time I get her home she had totally trashed the inside of my car with mud and had pretty much worn me out.

+cmatter29 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) I'll take Duke my black lab/golden retriever with me one some. He likes doing the ones in the woods and he is good cover when there is a lot of mugels around. Figured out how to post a picture, this is from his first find. This is from Sept '09 and he is a lot bigger at this point. Edited January 5, 2010 by cmatter29 Quote Link to comment
+behind the camera Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) My boy Echo goes with me everywhere he can and loves every minute of it. He has been to numerous geocaches and earthcaches finding them and when we place them. He is my best hiking buddy and I dont get very far out of his sight. Yes he is a Travel Bug...

+yy's4me Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I started in July on vacation with the dogs. I have to admit the older dog I have had from 8weeks of age Diablitia Roja (Raja) Mixed breed, the other turned out to be 5months old when I got him Rip Van Tinkles (Riplee). Raja goes with me all the time except the few that dogs aare not allowed, She is a must for night caches while trying to get FTF. She is very patient and I have to say she found the last FTF by pulling me to the area then pointing me to the right area, this is not the first time she has done this. She has also led me back to the mail trail on a night cache. I will deeply miss her. Rip or Riplee had come with a few issuse, so he goes when it is not raining (it rains here a lot), if there is no brook stream or other body of water to cross, I also don't take him out on quick runs he requires a bit more supervision and it is faster to leave him in the crate in the car or in the crate at home. He can't go near traffic and if we need to be quite as he is a big cryer when he does not want to be left behind. When he does go he climbs all over the rocks or logs that are near by I have no problem with that. He is coming around but being a border collie/ cattle dog mix he prefers to not stand around. One time it was a hard cache I took both dogs, the terrain was 3 1/2 logs to go over and under, with back a forth tracking as it was dense forest. so 1/2 latter I head home 2 dogs is to much. I come back a different time with Rip only left Raja in the car he was all over the place up on this log that was 8 feet off the ground, so I get him down then I spent time keeping an eye on him not wanting hime to get hurt, not working real well so off to the car and I pull out Raja and leave Rip after 20 min of noise making and attracking attention I went on to a different cahe. the next time I went out there I took just Raja 1 1/2 hours she is just hanging out around ground zero. I hope some day I can get Rip to be as good of a trail dog as Raja. If not we have Flyball that he does. I feel for that person whom blamed the DNF because of the dog. they are just along to hang with there people. a good dog handler will find caches they and there dog can do. I also keep towel in the car to wipe the pups down with, of course they come in handy to clean myself up to Happy caching to you and your Geo"pups". Quote Link to comment
+Dragonjoust Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Sleeping Bear Dunes (sorry for large size) This is my Tanner so far he has only been on one cache with me (my first one). Everything went well but with it being wet and snowy I'm not sure how much I'll be taking him out this winter, he does well with staying on the floor during short trips around town I will definitely take him back out (and put a big towel in the car just in case).

tipzturtle Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I am so sorry to hear about your dog. They add so much enjoyment to our lives. We love to cache with our dogs and hope to someday train them to seek out caches. There is a cute video about caching with your dogs here http://www.pawsawhileoc.com/index.php?opti...l&Itemid=55 Quote Link to comment
+do not resuscitate Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 My boy! GeoBuddy always goes with me. With urban caching whenever security rolls up on me they see the dog and figure I'm there to "water" the dog. Sometimes I think he is going to "water" the cache before I can find it. He "waters" everything. Quote Link to comment
+Ecz Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 My Siberian, Loki. We found our new favorite way to hang together, geocaching is the perfect excuse to let him stretch his legs and burn some of that seemingly-endless energy. Quote Link to comment
+3isamagic# Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have stumbled into two homeless camps and thought to myself "I bet no one knows where I am...I barely know where I am. I wonder how long before my husband notices I didn't come home..." After several months of research, we got a boxer. He now goes to every cache...he has his own pack and sometimes roots around looking (although he has no idea why). We took him to doggie school so he walks well on the leash and can sit and wait when needed. He is a blast to have along. Quote Link to comment
+Larry the pool guy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I have my Dog kitzel who loves to go geo caching with me. She is still a puppy at a 16 months but because she is a german sheperd she now weighs 60 pounds. We both love to hike......... Geocaching just gave me a purpose to the hike. Quote Link to comment

+tzipora Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Here's my lhasa apso, Juneau, helping out with an EarthCache. She loves hiking. If I say "geocaching", she gets excited because she knows that means a) a ride and a good long walk and c) finding things. I haven't managed to teach her "find the geocache" yet, but she can usually bring me pretty close to a recently-found cache. She's learned to find specific toys when I ask for them, so I'm sure it's possible to make a secret weapon out of her yet. Quote Link to comment
+Terrier Team Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) here's my geodog. <-------- Maggie, hence the caching name. Terrier Team. She's a rat terrier. I origionaly started cashing with a Jack Russell but she had to get put down due to severe allergies. The geodog is a blast to have caching.

+Fianccetto Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) This is our geocat who doesn't come with us often, but if we are somewhere remote away from roads and not likely to meet too many dogs, he likes to come along. OK can feel the temperature rising around here a little, let me explain. He's only about 7 months old, and we're trying to build up his confidence. He is terrified of going outside, and won't even go out into our back garden unless we take him. So coming along on cache walks gets him used to the idea that there is more to the great outdoors than roads and big squashy vehicles. Funnily enough he likes riding in a moving car, just not hearing them on the roads around him. He's happy to wear a harness, even proud to, but not always keen on the lead of course. We never let him off his lead in the wild. We have to carry him sometimes, and hide him from dogs in our coats and we know there's a risk. Someone usually gets extra geostripes bathing him when we get home, too! Its worth it to see him and the kids yomping along together along the trail. So sorry for the loss of your good companion, but thank you for this thread, really enjoying seeing everyone's 4 legged friends. Edited March 13, 2010 by Fianccetto Quote Link to comment
The 2 Dogs Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I always take "Magic" the super Geopup. She's an Australian Kelpie cross and has been geocaching with me for 7 years. She has a real nose for it. Quote Link to comment

+D0kt0r_D Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm sorry for your loss. My best buddy Samwise (Sam) had kitty cancer and had to be put down in February. He would come caching with me on occasion but would usually stay in the car unless there was no one around. He looked like the cat above except his leash was red. His brother and sisters miss him just as much as I do. Maybe I'll get a dog in the next year or so as it's been 15 years or so since I last had one. I would take one of my mom's chihuahuas with me but they are both afraid of their own shadows... Quote Link to comment
+brittany19 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Both of my geocache pets... lol, only one of them has four legs. Celtic(the dog ) Helped us find our way out of the woods when i was a dummy and forgot to waypoint the car. We were lost for five hours but he helped us get back. Quote Link to comment
