Dutch Shepherd Forum

We went for a little hike around one of the local lakes here, and I snapped a few pics. Thought I'd share...

Here is where we started, at the beach area off the parking lot. This is me looking at the dogs who are brave enough to swim


Always something good to sniff. I'll take sniffing over swimming any day!




Whats that? I hear someone coming!


About a third of the way around the lake


Come on, hurry up! There's more good stuff up ahead




Really?? Didn't you take enough pics of me with rocks last month??




These trees in the background that the bark is peeling off are called Arbutus trees and are native to this area










I think we are almost done...


Yup, almost back to where we started


I need a drink!

How beautiful! We are JEALOUS!

Wow! what a beautiful hike! Sugar looks like she loves it!

She is so cute!! She dosnt swim?? We will have to set up a play date with Sugar and Sadie and throw them in.

Beautiful!

Not a swimmer yet...we saw someone with a young lab who was trying to get his dog to swim by throwing dog treats out in the water for him to get...didn't work for him, but I thought I'd try that with Sugar. Some nice duck treats out in the water may do the trick!

I'm jealous, too. Well, Boaz is jealous. It looks like a perfect dog day!

WOW! Very nice up there!
We got both Ivil and Dingo to swim by getting in it ourselves and call them, maybe have a ball with you. Worked fine, they both LOVE swimming now

Sugar is so cute!! She knows the water is just a little too cold, other than getting her feet wet.

Ya, my little prima-dona won't go in the cold water...but neither will I, so can't blame her.

beautiful pics! Our Beta loves to swim, she just followed her little Beagle sister right in the river. She also loves to chase and bite the big waves of Lake Michigan, even in winter.

What a beautiful area! Looks like you both had a good time

AHA! Now there's the problem Get in there you sissy!!

I'll send the husband in...

I'm a big when it comes to cold water

Beautiful pictures Sue! I have been to BC once (Nanaimo/Mission) and I just loved the scenery, you are lucky that you get to see that every day!
Diesel is a major water dog but Halo wont go in past he belly. She's part lab (we think) so she should be in love with water but the husky side must be stronger!
My mom's old dog wouldn't swim either...she ended up getting a floaty thing for the him which was hillarious!
