More: How Orvis got his name, we let our granddaughter name him and she knows I love your store so she came up with Orvis, it seem to fit him, so we let it ride. We learned in our first week of having him that he loves the water so we get him there as often as we can. Orvis also digs the rain, when other dogs are trying to get out of the rain, he's trying to stay in it. We're looking forward to his first New England winter, I think we're all going to have a lot of fun.
