Dog Parks Dog, Parks

嘉嘉

Was organizing my pictures today, and all of a sudden just wanted to introduce some of the off-leash dog parks here in vancouver/richmond. Would love to hear other dog owners sharing other dog parks experiences in greater vancouver.

McDonald Beach,near the airport - is the one I mostly go to cuz I have to take the highway anyway and there's water and tons of places for dogs to play with. Especially happy for the dogs in the summer who love water! (also a heahache to owners who don't like their dogs getting wet and dirt all over lol)




A very big field for doggies to run before entering the beach






There's a small trail next to the beach


Somebody is too short


No.3 road & Dyke - was the park we went to a lot before moving on to McDonald beach. It's at the very end of No.3 road. Good for owners who don't like their dogs to get wet cuz it's pretty much just a big field to run around (tho some dogs are brave enough to walk down the rocks to the water lol). It's also a pretty nice place there cuz it's next to the river.






Fraser River Park - This park is located down Marine Drive (from the 70th ave and Marine intersection) next to the river also, and across the river is McDonald beach lol! Very very nice view there also because of the river and you can see air planes landing too

(sorry 我家小女坐得比較無儀態....lol)












Jericho/Spanish bank beach park - Ok, I have been there 3 times for BBQ with friends but I still can't differentiate between the two beaches, but anyway they do have a designated off-leash area for dogs (and probably dogs are not allowed on the beach......I don't know, I took them there and I saw a bunch of other dog owners did too lol) Very very nice there when low tide. You can also see DT and North van from the beach

Our puppy is only 3 months and 1 week old now.  He is just a baby and he loves to be carried as a baby (human baby) too.  LOL.

Yes, patient and lots of them is what we really need in his house training.  One good day and then follow by one bad day.  We just had it for a week (last Thurs) and this week seemed extremely long for us.

welcome, new dog owner! poms are sooooo adorable. i was debating between a poodle, a maltese, or a pom actually.

yes yes, so much to learn. it's like having a baby but without the 9 months of preparation time... i remember my bf and i had spent weeks 'researching' on the internet before getting the puppy, and of course.. even MORE 'researching' when the puppy actually arrived home.

be patient and good luck! can't wait to see your pom's pictures!

yeah, many people in HK call them something like 小牧
the official name is Shetland Sheepdog (since they originate from Shetland of the UK), but for short, people just call them Sheltie

Lassie's breed name is called Collie
to be more specific, it's the Rough Collie (rough for long coat) because there's also the Smooth Collie that has a very short coat

hahhaa, many people say the same thing too
for many times, when my friends first see my dogs in person, they are like "oh wow, I didn't realize they were actually quite small when I saw your pictures!" Thank you thank you, I actually think all dogs are beautiful too ^_^

oh nice! where did you get your pom?
How's the house training so far? usually for many owners, the first couple of months are usually a big headache
I remember when my dogs were puppies, they pee and poo poo here, when I just finish cleaning up, I always see another pee pee poo poo waiting to be cleaned up.......

She loves to play fetch at home. Her toys are everywhere in the house. lol

I have balls around the floor too.....
my girl is obsessed with balls and if she sees one she would grab one and bring it to whoever is the closest to her (yes, she's lazy) and starts staring at the ball waiting for the person to throw it for her. Usually if she wants me to throw the ball, I would just throw and quickly run away XD (she never gets tired of it.....eventho we go to park almost everyday with the ball....)

My boy is not too bad cuz his coat is relatively short for some reason
but my girl is. She has a really thick coat and almost like a fuzzy ball
many people think she's fat because of her coat LOL
It takes quite a while to do her hair since there are just so much of them
and I do see black hair all over my carpet.....=_=
