Introduction

Hi! I am very excited to get a hiking/socializing/dog loving group together! I wanted to start a group that allowed those of us with super active dogs to find exciting things for them and us to do together...see you all soon :)

What about this group make you decide to join?

I live for my pups and I love the extremely dog friendly town of Fredericksburg. I want to find active things to do with my pups and take advantage of the sidewalk cafes of downtown with fellow dog lovers.

This is VERY important!! Has your pup been well socialized with people, adults and children, and other animals?

Oscar is EXTREMELY social and the new pup is being socialized currently with no difficulties whatsoever.

Tell us about your breed, i.e. mutt named Billy aged 3 who likes to eat shoes :) Provide as much or as little information as you want!

I have one male long-hair German Shepherd (GSD) named Oscar who is 12yrs, one short-hair, solid black named Nina who's 11yrs (not social) and a new 13 week old long-hair female named Gerda. Nina won't be attending the events :(

Are you and your pup new to hiking or old hands?

We are old hands at the basic battlefield trails up to 7 miles, but intend to expand on a grand scale into the mountains and A.T. starting this spring. I started this group to get others to join in!

Are you interested in longer hikes like day trips to the mountains or just the local 3 - 4 mile hikes?

Definitely! I am actually planning a couple of backpacking/ camping trips and we are heading to Damascus, VA in May for the annual A.T. Trail Days Festival which includes camping in the nearby town, dog contests and daily hiking events....

  • Hi Dawn! I am bummed I can't go out with you tomorrow. I love hiking there ... would it be a possibility in the new year to have one hike there a month that would start at 9:00 a.m.? I am usually at adoption events on the weekend - tomorrow at Falls Church at noon. Have a great time. Best to all - Viveca

  • Hey.

    Sorry, I won't be able to make it tonight. I am getting ready to go out of town to see my folks. Thought I would be able to make it, however deadlines conspired to kill that plan. Have fun. Will definitely start in the beginning of June when my schedule looks better. Already put the Meet Ups in my calendar for then. Looking forward to running with you all soon. Is that your dog? He looks so adorable. I have an Anatolian Shepherd...150lbs worth of enthusiasm!

  • Sounds good. I promise to do my best..:-)) Just getting back into running again after many a false start this year. Is there parking at Hyperion? I am only just getting to know my way downtown. Fairly new in the area. Looking forward to meeting the group.

  • Ha! Dora thinks shes a Mastiff, not skittish at all. I've had Blue nose's and other large terrier breeds my whole life, I kinda figured it was large dogs, I'll just put her in my backpack ;)
