Hey Doug nice looking pup.
The one thing I learned is after sitting
In the car for an hour or 2 for the drive to the put in the last thing a pup wants to do is sit still in the canoe for another hour or more. Give him a good run chasing a ball or such to burn off some energy. Also get a decent pad for the bottom of the canoe to help insulate from the cold water.
