Now I know this may be a silly question but i have to ask it.

For some unknown reason our youngest son who is just about to turn two has a real issue with dogs..........

Just wanting to know how many of you guys and girls are bringing your four legged friends along?

g'day james

i am bringing my "four legged friend" along, a rough coat jack r (barney on the left playing with jack r puppy)

dogs "pretty much" have to be on lead at all times within parks "except as signed"


if your young fella is concerned with dogs i am sure all the myswag members will confine their dogs when necessary

looking forward to meeting you

I'm tossing up as to bringing the real Ralphedward along (a 45kg German Stupid).  One thing he has done all his life is bring kids to him.  I have been training dogs all my life and have had many German Shepherds before but this Ralph is one out of the box.  If I bring him, and as the rules state, he will always be on a lead, he will convince your boy that dogs are just big (or little) fluffy toys.

If I do bring him your boy will be fearfull child number 20 who has succumbed to Ralph's charms.

Rule No1. is - never trust a dog totally, but always have total control over the dog!!!!

We will have our two with us, Shepherds about 4 months old.  Will make sure they are not a bother.  It could be good for your young guy to have some controlled contact with some dogs.  We have friends locally and their young guy has an issue with dogs also but slowly getting used to them with controlled visits...

There is a black water hole that could be used for a kayak but this is a dry camp . Waranga Basin would be the closest body of water about 14/15 km away . Bring his bike instead  :cheers:
