A special 'dog forrest'


  • 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!!!!


  • @KiroGurl:

    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. :(

    @iris-shuman said in I would like you to meet "The 'Marvel'-ous Prince T'Challah" a/k/a Prince: Iris was born in December too Not much of a surprise when you think about it ! Basenjis in the Northern Hemisphere come in to season through September/October/November and whelp their litters November/December/January. A great many litters' arrivals cause the turkey to be put back in the oven on Christmas Day while the puppies are delivered ! Decrease the size of the photo and you will be able to show Iris to all of us. And do as Tanza suggests to Daureen - get her Fanconi tested.

    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!!

    First time i've actually managed to see this film though I'd heard a lot about it -thank you for the link, tlish. Not true though that they are/were used to hunt lions. Is it true that they were nearly wiped out in the US in the 80s by Fanconi or is that an exaggeration? Does anyone know who the Basenjis are? They look some lovely dogs.

    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!?

    **hahaa…Its great how they can "say" so much with their expressions!!! ---SO, there was a breakin in miliraty housing one street up from us, and now im kind of glad Jack is aggressive when it comes to strangers....BAD strangers. Makes me feel safer. He sleeps at the top on the stairs next to my room and his bed faces the front door. SO I KNOw when someone strange is coming into the house. Once when i had a family member (jack didnt know) over, they went out all night and tried to sneek in at 3 in the morning and i heard jack growl like ive NEVER heard before. Sounded like he would have killed...I called him to stop and he did, but now i know when a REAL stranger comes in, Jack with at least give me a chance to prepare myself...!!----- Thats one thing Im thankful for with the recent breakins around here...and its unfortunate because ive always felt SO safe in Military housing...But its some group of teenagers that are Navy brats and live here too....yeay, not.**
