Since April 2003, Kippa has been our “boatyard dog.”  When she was five months old, she cruised with us for eight days – without a single “accident” onboard.  In ten years of cruising with us aboard SunSmiles, she never had a single accident onboard.  I think we can reasonably expect her to be a great mentor for Kate.

Kippa, the original SunSmiles girl.  A natural boating girl, Kippa’s mom was a beautiful English Springer and dad was all Labrador.

Kate, Kippa’s new first mate.  Momma was a beautiful Brittany Spaniel and Daddy was a handsome Boykin Spaniel.  She was blessed with the best of both breeds.

Our boatyard girls have bonded like mother and daughter.

Stay tuned for the adventures of Kippa and Kate.
