OFFICIAL BOCCE (the dog) POST

I figured that Travis has such a popular dog (BOCCE), And he does not want to look like a geeky dog owner. I figured I would start the Bocce thread. So post away people. Why not show us your doggy in the process too. Never met Bocce personally, but I intend to when I head to FL at The Boarding School this year.

here is my family's new dog he hasn't been on the boat yet, hope he likes it.

Lake Weir and Gator Joe's mascot:

Again:

Here's our pup and my little girl. fyi not a binky in her mouth she fell asleep with a ringpop. Our dog absolutely loves the kids.

IG's represent. These dogs will be your best friend one second and then rub their muddy paws into your couch cushions the next.



Right before coursing and catching a squirrel

Here is my buddy "Jack". He has not been on the boat yet, but I plan on it this year.

Ant is that a puggle? Cool dog.

Here is mine "buddy"

Loves the boat, gets very mad at me if I dont take him but hates going in the water!

cool dogs, esp that doberman. i grew up with dobs and love em.

heres my old girl "haven" (akita), she has had a good 10 years of boating so far. loves the water

Here is Vinnie


Here is Phil

My two animals.

Ant that first pic of your dog made me want to cry cause its so cute!!! This is mine... her name is Fluckie and she is 12 yrs old. Never been on a boat but she loves going with me in the car.

Here she is, all ready to go with her purse on. She put it on without any help


I take lots of pictures of her and she has started to pose for the camera now... sometimes she even smiles!

This is Lou




aka: Pug Daddy

Bocce is a big PIMP. I can't wait to see him again soon.

Bug- Jack is cute as hell. Here are a couple of my "kids".

Here is Rook when he was little.

Here are Indy and Rook showing off a little.

This is Clifford, he thinks he's a dog.

Brandon, the 2nd pic is classic, got to love it. BTW, Tony C. is in orlando, when he gets back I will get some dates for you & Chuck.

not my dog, but im sure you can guess who.

Ted D.
What kind of dog is that? ( I am guessing huskie)

here is are little guy. the pic of him in the truck is 12 wks and now he is 9 months and 100 lbs. i wanted to name him ballest!! LOL

Yep, husky. I dont think she would like Siberia though. Shes a Florida dog for sure!

Here is my child, with grandpa's boat.

Randy-- That sounds great. I think that I'll be racing at California Speedway on the weekend of the 17th in March. With any luck, you all won't be getting together then. I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Is that picture of Lyman real? That is awesome. How do dogs typically react to being on a wake boat, and all the action?

Yes, Jack is a puggle.

Keep em coming people.

woof woof: Show us some Boxers boyz ....

Sassy= 60lbs ballast

Molly

This is trigger... she is a mutt off of the native reserve near our lake that adopted our family a few years back...

first one in the boat every time...




"hey guys... this is my boat"


having a little nap while we were wakesurfing


i think this is a trend... she must not like wakesurfing

He hates the water but does love coming out with us. His wife though is the dangerous one, absolutely loves the water and will jump out of the boat any time...bit scary so unfortunately she rarely tags along.

Dexter Here

My pounds of trouble.....

These are Hallie

Haize(big baby)

Hallie full grown and more Haize along with his chew toys

Molly.

This is Karl(and my daughter Jaden). I've had Boxers and Huskies so I've never been a fan of little "ankle biter" dogs, but he's actually pretty cool. He's half chiwawa half silky terrior.Can't wait to see how he does on the boat.

my posse! little dogs gotta roll in backs!

Man, this is awesome. I have been out of town for a couple days and just got back to find out my boy got his own thread. Huge!

There are some freakin' cute dogs on here. I am just glad to see everyone takes them in the boat with them. People are always asking us about it and worried about the interior, but to be honest I couldn't imagine not having them there.

Shasta at Shasta. Thanks Walt and Scott A

I started this thread....and ironically I do not have a dog. I have been borrowing my parents and neighbor's dog. But all of you have motivated me to get a dog... My wife and the kids are going to start looking this next weekend. Need to complete our boating experience with a little mascot. Thanks everyone...these are awesome pictures. Keep them coming. Maybe we will make The Bocce post the biggest one ever listed. That would be cool.

Here are a couple of my boy when he was a bit younger. He has learned to pace himself much better now.

Travis....those are hysterical! Does he still sleep in awkward positions like that? You would think that can not be comfortable. Way too funny. Talked with Gerry last Friday. Thanks again...looks like we are going to try to work out something for July.

Our new boat dog Cheech.... looks a bit like Lyman's papallion...

All my children!!! Boxers, German Sheperd, Pekingnese. Unfortunalty the one driving the boat passed away this winter

Travis - are IG the same as the full size? I dog sit for two greyhounds and they are the coolest dogs!! Their owner told me they are real sensative to heat, do you have a problem with that by taking the dog on the boat in the summer?

The one Boxer knows how to roll... Nice Bling

Our new pup. Not sure how he will like the boat, but loves the snow and running around on the lake right now!

Ted: How does your husky like the boat?

Couple.........

scott- if you are seriously going to look for a dog the detroit kennel club dog show is this weekend @ cobo hall there will be tons of breeders there and you can see every kind of dog you would like.......

i think im going to head down there anyways just to see some of the dobies showing and talk to some breeders about maybe........getting another one....

Here is a couple Lou. He is a 85lb, 8year old bully.

Zeus
10 weeks

6 months

Thanks Andrew. I will do just that. My wife likes Dobies. Our friends have a 6 year old female. Words to the wise....my wife was watching their kids last week. This Doberman got a stick of butter off the counter and ate the whole thing. Never knew this, but high amounts of fat is poison to your dog. The owner Scott..is a vet and said to give her hydrogen peroxide to get her to hurl the butter up. dog didn't hurl..she had to go into work and visit her Daddy. Today she is doing fine. I known of dogs to grab stuff off counters and what not. Didn't know high volumes of fat is poison to them. Just an FYI for ya.

dark chocolate is bad for them too. can be an issue with smaller dogs

heres a few picks of my 11 week old pit mix,Rocky

i hope he will do ok on the boat..any issues with dogs going potty on the boat carpet or do most dogs hold it until you get to shore or put them on the deck??


heres a few at 6 weeks

Bill, never had the dog eliminate in the boat....or on the platform for that matter(though I wish I could get him to on the platform).

Take him to shore a few times a day and we are good to go. Plus, it is a nice time for him to get some energy out.

Love the Dobe's.... Best dog I ever had was a Doberman.....and my next dog will take me back to that breed. Just didn't want to do a follow up and the expectations that brings.

Here is one of the best Boating dog's I have had. This is Tekai at 3yrs. old acting like a show dog. Not really he was growling at some people across the park.

Raley loves being on the boat. Diesel has yet to make the trek. hoping to take him out in the next couple of weeks.

Neoplitan Mastiff @ 10 months


Neo at 8 months and English Mastiff at one year


Volunteer cat with 10 month old Neo

Great Dogs Rich......

Guess when you purchase a boat, it will have to be an X-80.......

Ryan
My husky LOVES the boat! She will chase the truck down when Im going to hook it up. I take her to the beach and she runs around like a holy terror, I think it must feel like snow - sugar sand in Florida is the closest shes ever been to snow. She loves the water too, she jumps out and cools down while we are getting ready to ride. Your pup looks just like her when she was that age - he's going to love it!

Not my dog, but she spends the entire day with us and never goes home until we bring her back two doors down (best kind of dog...someone elses)"


Then a pic of our other 'dog' Chuck:


Travis, that second pic of your dog sprawled out and half-an-inch from falling off the seat is hilarious.

I was lucky enough to get custody from my ex! She turned three last month and can destroy a room in two minutes if upset. More of a creature than a dog. Loves the water but can't swim.

thomas what kind of dogs do you have...dobermans?..skinny labs. a cross?....neat looking dogs whatever they are...wow those mastiffs are huge!

Here is Zack taking a little rest in the boat after a swim in Shasta, he's been boating for 101 (Dog) years...

fatsac - Such cute pictures! I love pugs.

Here's my dog Kaya! She loves the water! Her Mom was a lab/setter mix and her dad was a chow.

Tucker the pimp

Bocce went to be bathroom on the back of the boat once when he was really young. Luckily he was little and he did it on the sundeck. Chase Heaver's dog took a massive dump on my platform once as well. But, I say it's worth running the risk.

hogfan- gorgeous animal we wanted a fawn but there were none in the litter @ the time......how does she take to the water?
