We have always taken our dog on hols with us staffy cross he loves it.He just sits watching the world go by.He always has a harness on and is on a lead at all times we have never had a problem as yet.

However its a shame that some sites refuse terrier types.

We think slapton sands is great as you can take a well behaved dog into the pub for a meal and go on the beach.

 Our last dog Rover (RSPCA Rescue after previous keeper died) was OK in large tents. But when I took him 'wild' backpacking he spent the only night 'protecting' me from moorland sheep. So was totally useless the following day. My only option was to drag him to a bus stop, where he slept until the bus came and under a seat to the railway station. Slept on the train floor 60-odd miles. And finally right round the clock until the following day!.

 So reluctantly I had to go alone in future. He'd adapted to everything else. But just couldn't understand that sheep aren't dangerous; odd as he was a border collie!.

 In contrast a friend's dog went everywhere with him in a child trailer behind his bike.

 And usually slept outside except when it rained and he got into the tent porch. When "The Boss" went off to the facilities he'd watch and await his return. Before resuming normality.

 On occasion when I was 'In convoy' with this outfit it was amusing to watch other dogs expressions, "I can smell another dog: BUT where is it?." Type puzzlement.
