You know, I think that size thing doesn't necessarily hold true. We have six dogs. Two good sized German Shepherds, two big mutts, an old hound dog and a rat terrier. The rat terrier seems to 'take up' as much space as the other dogs, oddly enough. The GSD's and the rat terrier are allowed unlimited access to the house, the mutts come in during bad weather or when we just want to let them 'hang out' and the hound dog comes in when I am held at gunpoint by my family. All the big dogs are just happy to be in the house. Even if all of them are in, they will lay quietly out of the way and we hardly notice them. The rat terrier is more like a cat. She wants in. She wants out. She wants to sit with you. She wants you to move so she can sit in your spot. She barks when the wind blows. She wants to sleep under the covers with you. She wants to sleep on the pillow next to your head. We love her, but I swear I think we will have a GSD on the boat. I am way more of a big dog person anyway.
oooh...or maybe a Newfie! They would have a theft deterrent component and they could rescue you if you fell overboard.
