A special 'dog forrest'

Show Off Your Dog
  • Today we went to a forrest that has a fenced part for dogs. It is huge.. so you still have to look for your dog if he takes off.. but… It is a nice feeling that they are 'somewhere' between the fences.
    Here some pictures.

  • Great photos and how wonderful to have an area where they can run and be contained.

  • What an AMAZING experience this must have been…thank you so much for the pictures. :)

  • That is ssoooooooo nice. beautiful pictures…. you ae so lucky to have that!!!! we dont even have a dog park in my county!!!!

    This is the one of the few (if it's not the only one) fenced areas for dogs in the Netherlands.. and it's not 'around the corner' for us.. but yes, it's really nice and definitly worth the drive!

  • KiroGurl, you may have to start an organization to push for the development of dog parks in your city/county. Here in Knoxville, TN we use to have 0 dog parks. We now have two with two more in the planning stages. A young lady that moved here from ??? started a group, went to the city and pushed until she at least got the land provided for a dog park. IN the beginning the volunteers with the group had to do the upkeep (mowing, garbarge removal {and we know what dogs leave as garbage - don't we} etc.). Now the city does the upkeep and the parks are very popular. One of our two current dog parks is at PetSafe Village and the owner of that company donated $500,000 for the development of more dog parks in Knoxville/Knox County!! Thank dog for him!!! There is a story in the August issue of Southern Living on PetSafe Village.

  • Looks like fun. The dog park near me isn't nearly as nice. :(

    I used Wisdom Panel for my assumed Basenji mix. It showed no basenji at all. My boy is 32 lbs and short hair. His DNA says he is 25% American Eskimo 12.5% Boston Terrier 12.5% Chow Chow 12.5% German Shepherd 12.5% Miniature Schnauzer 25% Breed Group-Sporting, Herding, Hound, Terrier. Having owned basenjis all my life I would say my boy has basenji in him by his personality and behavior regardless of what his dna says!!

    Becca and Tucker are certainly more adventurous than Spencer. He wants no part of water– coming from the sky or puddled on the ground. When we're walking, he will screech to a halt in front of a puddle, like he's waiting for it to move. Becca and Tucker sound like fun dogs to have around. I saw their pix in another thread, and they are so cute-- bet there's never a dull moment at your house!

    Yes, Bungwa will toss any of his toys into the air and catch them but definitely will not catch anything I throw. He has no competition because the others just look and say 'Boooring'!!! Interesting about your best hunters being fetchers, Quercus. I wonder if there's a reason in it or whether it's a coincidence!?

    @Humanoid: Love those pictures :) I've been to Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Surprised to see how many of you that actually was cycling….but it is kind of flat, so you don't have the same challenges as us up here :p Yeah, everybody has a bike here. I'm used to cycle around 20-30 km a day (school). So we make up for the flatness, by cycling for a long distance :p @Humanoid: In the winter, we just have to do other stuff … That's just great!! Looks like a lot of fun! It has been a long time since we had real snow and ice in the Netherlands..
