Growing up we had Shetland Sheepdogs. One was great for hiking. Never drifted out of sight and cover more distance than I could. Only problem were stream crossings.

The best canine hiking companion I had was my neighbors Chocolate Lab. Listened to all commands, was not a drifter, endless stamina and had a major fear of bear. He would pretty much glue himself to me & give me a look of anxiety if he sensed bear. One day we came to a bend on the trail. Around the corner was a fresh steaming pile of bear poop. Yukon gave me that oh s..t look, a full body giggle . Starting laughing so hard I think I embarrassed him. He turned around and slowly started walking back in the direction we came from. I followed.
