Not every dog can withstand being the companion to a houseboat owner. The breeds that are best fit for boat life are those who are adventurous, active, comfortable with water<\/a>, and generally of good health. Here\u2019s a list of the best breeds to have on a houseboat!<\/p>\n

Labrador Retriever<\/h2>\n

Labs are one of the most popular breeds in the U.S. for a reason! They are fun-loving, extremely caring, and great swimmers. Their active nature makes them great companions to have on a houseboat as they\u2019re always down to help out, play, or relax. Plus, they\u2019re good with kids! Just make sure these pooches get enough exercise to avoid crankiness and barking.<\/p>\n

Portuguese Water Dog<\/h2>\n

Portuguese Water Dogs are natural-born swimmers, hence their name. They\u2019ve historically been the companions of fishermen for years so these pups know their way around bodies of water. This breed will love fishing, swimming, playing, and relaxing on a houseboat!<\/p>\n

Golden Retriever<\/h2>\n

Golden Retrievers want nothing more than to spend time with their owners and make them happy! They will love time on a houseboat as they love water, adventure, and playing in new surroundings. This breed makes a loyal and fun companion for families or single dog parents!<\/p>\n

Labradoodle<\/h2>\n

Labradoodles are universally loved, but houseboat owners may find this breed especially appealing. They are gentle, love to cuddle or play with their parents\/family, and don\u2019t mind making a splash! This breed is also great for smaller quarters of a houseboat as they generally produce fewer allergens<\/a> than other furballs.<\/p>\n

American Water Spaniel<\/h2>\n

American Water Spaniels are traditionally very skilled swimmers, making them a perfect match for a houseboat companion. Their double coat acts as a water repellent so be prepared for some splash when they shake out their fur! This breed is also obedient, loyal, and gentle to those around them.<\/p>\n

Water breeds tend to have thicker, shedding coats so it\u2019s a good idea to invest in a strong, portable vacuum or hair removal tool<\/a>. Check out this guide to doggie safety tips near bodies of water<\/a> and don\u2019t forget that Fido should be wearing a life vest<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
