July Walk 2017 - Whiteman Park

For our June walk we're meeting at Whiteman Park. This is a strictly on-lead walk.

The park is quite big, so be sure to check the maps below so you don't get lost and miss out on all the fun.

We will be following Werillyiup Bush Trail around Horse Swamp.  The trail is a 3km loop so if you have an older dog, or a younger person, you may need to be prepared to carry them if they get tired half way round. Last year we saw a variety of all terrain vehicles for the less mobile hounds including a trolley and a push chair.

Dogs will need to be on-lead at all times around the trail. If you want some off lead time, there is an enclosed dog park you can use before or after the walk.

The Big Birthday Bash

Long Dogs WA turned 10 this year and to celebrate we had cake. Oh, and a party. And we raised money for dachshunds in need while we were at it because that's just the kind of community we are.

Being able to do that was a close run thing this year.  If it hadn't been for some quick thinking, good contacts and a man with a big mower we wouldn't have been able to see the weiners from the weeds.

With a manageable patch beaten into relative submission we were able to go ahead and we paced, paraded, passed, purchased, postulated and partook.

Sunshine in South Perth

We couldn't ask for a nicer September afternoon than the one we had on the weekend, and it looks like 128 dachshunds agreed with us.

We were covered from all angles for this walk. Tilly's friends were the eye in the sky while Mona's mum was getting the down low and in close shots. You can see Natalie's selection of long noses in our facebook group. The only thing we didn't have was someone willing to wade into the water and take some shots from the river. Maybe next time we'll recruit someone with a boat...

Mandurah July 2016

Our Mandurah walk was the wettest and shortest I've attended, so a big shout out to all those long doggers who braved the elements.

39 doughty dachshunds arrived at about 1:45 pm and enjoyed a good (dry) sniff round with the other dogs before we headed off, at brisk pace, around the park a little after 2pm. A few minutes into the actual ramble the rain began, which served to shift the pace into more of a brisk trot.

Albany Catch-up

It's great to be reminded that we are Long Dogs WA, not just Long Dogs Perth.  I was thrilled to be able to join some of the Albany members for a sniff, play and bark session at Foundation Park in Albany last weekend.

What was really exciting was to see the full age range represented with some golden oldies like Bronte and Henry, and some young ones like Heinz all joining in the fun.
