Introduction
I joined this group to share my love of hiking outdoors with my greyhounds and with others. We have greatly enjoyed meeting so many other families and their companions out on hikes!
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)!
Axel is a retired racing greyhound who turned 7 in May 2009. He is outgoing and energetic. Abbey is also a retired racing greyhound, who turned 3 in April 2009. She is sweet, playful, and loves the opportunity to be with large groups of dogs.
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.
Axel, Abbey, and I just love to be outside as much as we can. When we care share that time with others, it's doubly so. We hope to continue meeting many more families in the DC metro area and share our favorite hiking places with new 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...
Axel and Abbey do best on hikes that are around 5 miles with some moderate changes in elevation. We tend to prefer hiking on maintained trails. We love local spots like Roosevelt Island, Carderock & Great Falls National Parks.
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... ???
Axel and Abbey are both Canine Good Citizens and Ambassadogs for Greyhound Welfare. Axel is well retired and Abbey hasn't made up her mind if she wants to keep up with obedience or agility in any formal way.
What Alana is saying about this Meetup Group
NOVA Trail Dogs is a fun way to meet other people and dogs in the middle of beautiful vistas keeping us all close to our local natural resources.

"Wishing you a smooth recovery! You could always skip the hike part of the VA Arboretum in May and just join us for a few glasses of wine up at Barrel Oak Winery. All it requires you to do is sit and relax!"
