Introduction

To hike with my dog and other hikers.

Please describe the dog(s) you own: name, breed, age, sex, etc... so we can get to know a little more about our new pack member(s)!

Wiemaraner, male, 10 years old in good health. Agility / obedience trained. Well socialized. "Jack" was rescued as an abused 6 month old puppy, and still has anxiety issues which result in him being defensively growly, however he is not aggressive.

What are you looking for in a trail club? Describe what you hope to get out of the group and what can you contribute to the group.

Hiking and perhaps camping with people who love dogs and love to hike with dogs. I live in a townhouse close to Little Lake Seneca, which could be a good place to stop for refreshments if that location is chosen for a days outing.

What does your ideal day outdoors involve? Please give the name and location of your favorite local hike or walk and describe the trail for us. Is it rocky, is there much elevation change, does it involve water, etc...

Living beside the lake, we often walk or run on Black Hill trail or other paths, or paddle on the lake. A prefect day is a morning paddle / hike with lots of swimming for Jack, followed by a picnic lunch, and leisurely paddle/hike home.

Have you and your dog(s) earned any titles or are you working towards any titles? Agility, Canine Good Citizen (CGC), working dog, pack dog, water dog, therapy dog, etc... ???

Jack participated in agility and did well as a novice. Training on hard floors here in the USA after we moved here led to arthritis and ended his agility. He has been on meds for 6 years and has had good joint recovery - can enjoy 1 or 2 days hiking.
