More: I do alot of activities with these dogs: agility, nosework, tracking, barnhunt, trailing and locating, rally, obedience and kayaking. But their favorite activity, hands down, is hiking! We hike 3 or 4 times a week all year round, in all weather conditions and they love every minute! When I get out their hiking gear, they all jump into the car and cannot wait to go, no matter what the weather or time of day!
