Those are great dogs.
Island dogs are unique: they rarely go far from home but are never restricted by fences or other means. Ours (which means all dogs within 2-3 camps) don't go deep into the woods, except for "personal"reasons. When it is time for a ride or a swim, they are always ready to go, and if their job is to stay home and guard the camp, they do it without specific training.
It always amazes me that guest dogs learn these traits almost instantly when they come to visit. I wish I could train my guests as easily and quickly as Daisy trains her guests.
Oh. Except for Lucas, a frequent visitor(Weimeraner), who took a couple of runs down the dock before he realized that when the dock ends, you end up in the lake if you don't stop running after the boat. Three dogs running down the dock, two stop, and Lucas falls in. Wish I had a video.
