[Rhodes22-list] Dog Talk [Photo of Cockpit Fillerboards in Place]

[peter klappert]

Thanks for the added info. I know two poodles--or a poodle and golden/poodle (I think) that are each pretty skittish around strangers (but not hostile). I think there must be as many reasons for behavior as there are dogs, though often I suspect or detect the dog has picked up signals from the owner--subliminal signals. There are some predictive tests you can do with puppies and at least with Barnaby the results were accurate. On the other hand, I almost always fall into an amiable rapport with other people's dogs. 

(I originally went to college to become a vet--maybe I should have stuck with it. Might have my own TV series.)

Peter,

My poodle is a standard.  She is a little on the samll side for a standard
but she is a standard.  It really didn't take her very long to learn how to
get on and off the boat.  She is most content laying in the cabin.  She is
nervous in the cockpit while I'm sailing, especially if the wind is up and
the boat rocking around.  I'm sure she will get used to it though.  Our
poodle is VERY people friendly and quit calm around children.  There is
another poodle, a standard at our marina that is the opposite.  She doesn't
like strangers and especially children.  Everyon seems to love our Kelsy,
though.

Ron
