Boston Terriers are great -- we have a puppy, our second BT. She has only been on our boat once (we didn't have the boat during our first BT's life), and not sailing yet, but she did just fine hanging out on the boat as we did projects. Of course, I was a nervous mommy, but will feel better the next time since we now have a life jacket for her. Here are a couple of photos of her in the cockpit:
We hope to get her out sailing soon, and I'll try to remember to post an update then. Crossing fingers she takes to it well! One downside is she did shed a lot of little black hairs all over our white cockpit and sole. Perhaps a white French Bulldog would have been a better choice, but we aren't trading her.
Sorry about the loss of your Corgi -- it is always very hard to lose a pet.
