I have a 6 month old Golden Retriever and I was thinking of taking him on a 30 mile - 3 day - 2 night backpacking trip. 10 miles a day spread out over 8-10 hours. He's great on short day hikes but this will be a different as I will have to carry him out if he can't make it. Anybody have advice or experience with something like this? Any tips?????

As long as you are willing to carry the food for him, there is no doubt he can make it.... he would probably cover more ground than that in a day really. It should be more than fine, don't even consider leaving him out!
P.S. it's the 10 miles a day thing that will make it fine, if you were going for 20 miles+ a day, maybe not. But at 10 miles in 8 hours, he will have more energy than you come nightfall.... as long as this is not the same pup that was 15 weeks old 3 weeks ago...

Yeah, even Oreo tastes like foodstuff for the Gods once you're starving and doesn't have something to eat. i wager it really is a fashion to teach us no longer to take issues devoid of any interest or be better useful in getting waiting what we can choose. i will pay even a $one hundred for something that i truly choose badly in the call of survival. i might want to easily imagine that the broking service is a sturdy economist who surely takes benefit of the regulation of provide and demand. smart human beings, like prostitutes do such issues as they do because the international began.

You might want to give him a little more time, he's not fully grown yet. But if he's in good shape and you don't push too hard, he should be all right. You might consider bringing supplies for an extra day just in case, though.

He is still a pup, I wouldn't do it. A dog is eager to please his master and will go above and beyond what he should to please you. Not saying you're mean, but that would be mean.
