Flick_Mac Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Oops yep it was - sorry! I was looking at who had which dog! He's not 'aggressive' as such - he'll just snap/growl if meeting nose to nose. If the other dog tells him off he'll back right off, and is normally fine apart from that. Yay! I'm excited now! Just praying I don't have to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dju Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Gold Coast! Crikey! When are there going to be central Brisbane meets, it takes me an hour to go north and an hour to go south, I can't win. (Technically, this time, it's not even Brisbane, it's 100km away from Brisbane) Edited February 22, 2011 by Dju Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flick_Mac Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm westside Dandy - so everywhere's a bit of a drive for me too! It's worth it for every so often though I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandybrush Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 ah ok flick, well let us know if there are any decent parks near you we can always make a meet over your way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flick_Mac Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 There aren't any I know if that will be quiet on a weekend... bugger! I'm happy to drive - I won't be able to make every meet, so it'll be an adventure once in a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl85 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thats right if anyone finds a park they want to use suggest it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanteNdut Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 What about Victoria Park in Spring Hill? I've been taking Bobbi there for a walk, but because we just move I'm not too sure about weekends. The off leash area is pretty decent and so far everyone has been really friendly. Would love to have a meet somewhere within walking distance since we don't have a car ;) Anyway, I'm planning to go there this weekend. Will give an update next Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadesamara Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Gold Coast! :cool: Crikey! When are there going to be central Brisbane meets, it takes me an hour to go north and an hour to go south, I can't win. ;) (Technically, this time, it's not even Brisbane, it's 100km away from Brisbane) I hope to get along to some meets also, but Kroll Gardens would have taken me an hour and a half. Gold Coast will prob be the same. I am west too, Flick_mac. Benson is an honorary Shar Pei and we are often going to the Pei meets at parks, so he's comfortable with other dogs . Our last meet was at a dog park at Kalinga (not Kallangur). It wasn't too busy, and was fully fenced. Don't know the name of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keira&Phoenix Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hey All, Just letting you know I am going to check out the Mermaid Waters site tomorrow. Will take a few pics and let you know about fencing and bbqs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Dog Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi. We can't make the March meet. We have plans. We used to head to Highgate Hill dog park because it was a bit quieter on a weekend (5pm was always a winner and still allowed a couple of hours play time). I also had someone mention Anzsac Park Toowong as being ok too. I'd bee keen to check out Colmslie too- if anyone ones a doggie playdate in the interim PM me.

Keira&Phoenix Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hey All Went to the park today will update this post tomorrow with pics etc but for now suffice to say its all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keira&Phoenix Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Ok All, So the park was great. The Agility area is fully fenced, its not massive but its nice and shady because there is a small pine forest next to it. Its only 50 metres walk from there to the edge of the lake. No fencing around the lake but the park is actually situated well away from main roads at least a 1 km I would say, the lake is close to a road but it is only used for accessing the sporting fields and park and there is not much movement on it and anyone who is driving on it is only driving very slow, the other side of the road is bordered by the canal (the canal and lake are NOT connected in any way). The lake is good, its got a small beach like area where dogs who don't want to swim can splash around in the shallows and get their feet/legs wet, enough room to throw a ball along the shallows for the dogs to chase but plenty of room for dogs who want to have a proper swim. You can also walk around the whole lake its takes about 15 mins. There are ducks on the lake so just be aware if your dog has a high prey drive. I will be bringing a 30ft lunge rein to use with Phoenix and depending on how the day is going may or may not let her off but at least with that she can get in the water and muck around without me having to get in with her LOL. There is a toilet block only 200 metres from the lake etc. There is a BBQ but it wasn't very clean. There is also two covered patio type areas with seating and tables. Regarding food it might be too hot for anything BBQ'd and was thinking maybe we could bring cold meats, bread, salad, fruit salad, pasta salad etc for eating.....? Also thought I would mention there were a few dogs around but they were ALL very well mannered, none of them rushed up to me and Phoenix including a beautiful Stafford who was running around in the water (I actually complimented the owners on what a fabulous job they had done with him) most people that use the area seem to be people who have well behaved dogs because they have their dogs off leash in a non fenced area doing laps around the lake or swimming. No one used the agility area really except the Stafford owner for like 5 mins. ETA - There is also ample parking for everyone OK so see piccies below - Agility Area with toilet block in the background View to the lake from the agility area (you can see the tables/patio and bbq) Another view from the agility area to lake Lake shore area More lake shore area View from patio area towards BBQ and agility area Edited March 1, 2011 by Keira&Phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keira&Phoenix Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 wow this place looks awesome :D ill try to get there, keira ill add ur no to my phone, ill txt you if/when im coming or if im not gonna make it at all, it looks perfect for my water baby I hope you make it!!!! I want to see Raz get in and swim LOL. What time does Top Gear start and finish? I should know my brothers are going LOL oh well. Wish I could take Keira I know she would love it. I might take her another time when there won't be so many dogs around and put her on the lunge rein. Hopefully having the water to swim in and chase balls will keep her distracted. Might actually do her some good. I can't wait !! Can everyone start replying with if they are coming, if there are going to be there for 12 noon? How many people ie just 1 or 1 plus OH etc? So we can start organising food and who is bringing what. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
