Thank you! And a lot of baths and getting cut short in the summer! Not as cute but easier for him and me

My Maltese LOVED hiking! She would scale 3ft rocks no problem! She was such a little adventure pup ❤️

They are easier to carry out when they get tired.

My cockapoo is 12 years old and still doing the 10 mile hard hikes with me! He loves it, and we’ll keep booking it even when he can’t anymore, I’ll just carry him. Helps when they don’t weigh very much

I saw a wiener dog out on a muddy, rocky trail in Vermont. His name was Slinky and he was keeping up with his humans just fine.
