My yorkie loves to camp! Its great sitting around the campfire with a yorkie in your lap. We even go backpacking. The most he did was a 20 mile weekend, and he was still running in circles when we made it back to the car!
His first trip this year, he was so excited when he saw the backpack being loaded up, he was doing circles. When we hit the trail he was the happiest dog around.
Backpacking with Burke (my yorkie) is easier then with big dogs. I bring a Tupperware container with a screw on lid for his water, then use the lid for his food. I feed him when ever we stop for food, typically every 2 hours or so and hes ready to go. Its great because I'm always the warmest with my doggie in my sleeping bag. I do keep a leash on him when we sleep in lean-toos encase an animal comes to check us out.
Just watch out Burke still has issues respecting the firepit! I also have to warn all my fellow campers not to feed him anything! |
