Introduction
My name is Dawn and I am the proud owner of three German Shepherds AND...we love to go hiking!
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)!
I have two long hair Shepherds. My male is Oscar and he's 12 yrs and my female is Gerda and she is 14 wks. I also have a female short hair, solid black named Nina and she is 11 yrs. Nina, however, has dog agression issues and won't be attending.
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.
just fellow dog lovers and hikers
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...
hiking, coffee in downtown Fredericksburg followed by lunch at a sidewalk cafe...!!! We hike most often at Chancellorville Battlefield because it's the perfect length for daily hikes (about 3.6 or 3.8). It has slight inclines, creeks and is wooded
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... ???
nope...I know Oscar could easily receive a CGC just never put him through the test...
What Dawn Baker is saying about this Meetup Group
Everyone is VERY friendly...a key component in my book when looking to join a group for fun and relaxation!

Hollow Brook and Three Foxes Vineyard
"Just thought I'd let everyone know that we are planning a VERY easy 3.8 mile hike and less than 900ft in elevation gain at Hollow Brook on Monday, July 5, 2010. Plan to be on the trailhead by 8:30...."

Sorry I initially said yes to this then saw how late it starts. If you guys decide to go earlier let me know. I think the heat and humidity (even with water) will be too much if we don't start until nine. My asthma acts up in high humidity :(

Any backpacking trail dogs?
"I know this is mostly a day hike/car camping type group, but I didn't know if there were any members who are backpackers, who might be intersted in a backpacking trip (nothing overly difficult, less than 10 miles per day)...."
