During my adventure on the Missouri River I will be traveling with our dog Taggerung. Tagg is a 5 year old border collie from Wildblue Border Collies, a local breeder near us in Colorado.
When you consider border collies, Tagg is not typical. Tagg is a mellow go-with-the-flow dog. I think Tagg beleaves himself to be human. He is happy just being with me. He loves to swim and chase balls.
Tagg loves to travel and has been all over the southwestern United States. We spend loads of time driving to remote sites in search of the middle of nowhere. During these trips it is not uncommon for him to just sit and watch the world go by out the window of our FJ Cruiser.
When it is time for a hike he is all about being ready to go. Wearing his own pack to carry water is just fine when hiking in the hot southwest. His boots from Ruffwear protect his feet when the conditions warrant.
When I need someone to listen or just give me a hug Tagg is there: no comments from him and nothing expected in return. He is Tagg the adventure dog.
