I am planning on going on a hiking/camping trip for spring break and I want to take my boxer puppy along. He will be right at 12 months for the trip and i was wondering if it would be safe to take him. The trails are unkept so they can be rough in places and the various trails in the area range from half miles to 3 or 4 miles. Do you think I could take him, and should I take any special precautions or anything like choosing a shorter trail or carrying him lol?
 
At first, do the shorter trails to see how he handles them. If he does well, build up to the longer trails and if he gets tired, just carry him the rest of the way. :D
 
This dog would be a fine companion for you on this hike. He will be better able to navigate the trail than you can. So take him, enjoy, but make sure you make a plan of action, food, and water for him and yourself, and a GPS so you won't get lost.
 
i think he would love it. just keep an eye on him because they are VERY curious :)
they are very powerful, intelligent and energetic animals.
