2013 Baja Part I

Hey,

On the subject of a man and his dog, what are the requirements for bringing a pet into Mexico for a few days? And back to the US after the trip for that matter?

All you need is proof of a current rabies shots... which is standard if you have a licensed dog.... all you need is the piece of paper that says when the rabies vaccination expires.... then almost never ask for it at the border... southbound they have never asked.... and north bound I've only been asked once..... they are usually too busy asking about the breed of dog and how old she is.... it is mellow!

Good to know. Makes me feel like getting another dog. Just curious what do you do with her when your out on the yak?

Great report and pics by the way, looks awesome!!!!!!!

What breed is she?

The were some nice fish holding around those rocks.... only fished one time around and hooked 8 fish to 5 lbs on a white buck tail slowly retrieved along the bottom. The next day we fished it from the beach and they were biting anything scampi like. There must be hundreds of SPOTS like this down the coastline.... wild west calicos!

Queenslan Blue Heeler...aka Cattle Dog, Blue Heeler, Dingo..... they are one of the most loyal, intelligent, and athletic breeds.

She likes to fish!

Thats what I thought she was, but they come in a few shapes & colors so i wasn't really sure. We adopted a heeler last year. She's a bad ass dog, but I haven't taken her on too many fishing trips yet.





Thread jack over! Lets see more BAJA pics

Thanks... there is nothing like getting "out" there! There are waves and boilers everywhere... I didn't even see the rocks until AFTER we had set up camp for the day.... I looked over my shoulder and instantly started getting the yak ready....

Honestly it really depends on the situation...

If I'm heading out on the skiff for several hours I tie her up to the truck and leave her a lot of water.... she hides in the shade/ under the truck and barks at passing visitors (if there are any!)!

If I'm just going surfing or fishing close to camp I let her run around on the beach. She actually sits at the waters edge and follows you up and down the beach as you surf or paddle around. Often times she even goes on the kayak.... She is only runs away if there are fireworks or thunder.
