FLYBALL in CORVALLIS - Posted 11/10/09 on Craigslist:
Looking for something fun to do with your dog?
Flyball may be for you and your dog.

Hi, Nina!
X-Fidos list their next class as starting Jan. 2010, and it's at 11 a.m., and their practice starts at noon. Contact them for more information: classes@x-fidos.org. They also sometimes offer an evaluation session for a dog, at their dem...
ps, we'd love to find a team, but would be limited to Sunday night or weeknight practice due to our agility schedule
Is there anywhere where my mini aussie(s) and I can take flyball lessons in December? We have available time on the weekends for the month only, otherwise weekdays is all we've got.
I'd love to see if Ellie (16mos & 17" tall) has what it takes, a...

I just got an alert from Meetup saying you have been automatically removed from the group because the emails have been undeliverable for six months. Just wanted to let you know- if you're still interested in being a member, please feel free to sign up again!
Thanks,
Julie

Janice LaJoie said… - Nancy - I just joined this group and I saw your post about wishing there were fenced dog parks in SE Portland. I have also been searching for SE PDX fenced dog parks, as my Toby doesn't do well with the recall command. I have found three so far. You may have learned about them already, but just in case you are still searching, here is what I know.
(1) Brentwood Park, SE 62nd, just south of Duke St. It is small, but has trees and a water station, and gives my dogs room to run and interact with the other dogs. Brentwood Park is quite large, and you can walk your dogs on a leash outside of the fenced area.
(2) North Clackamas Park. Big park with lots of space and a large dog run area. It is 4-5 times as large as the one on 62nd. I visited it for the first time this past weekend, and the dogs and I enjoyed it. Location: Off of Rusk Rd and Hwy 224. Directions: Take Hwy 224 (Milwaukie Expressway) to Rusk Rd. Turn onto Rusk Rd (the side with the big church) and follow road for 1/4 mile (just past the church). Turn right and follow this road all the way back to the Milwaukie Senior Center and the park's parking lot. Dog run area has water and bowls.
(3) Happy Valley Park - 13770 SE Ridgecrest Rd. I haven't been to this one yet, but plan to try it soon.

Linda Watkins said… - Yeah -- I know what you mean -- I have three of my own otherwise I'd take her on -- she's a nice dog; I've spent a lot of time around her & really like her, but she needs someone who has maybe one other dog & who can put some time & focus on her. Her main problem is that she's just not used to being handled & she's not "Miss Cuddles" ...otherwise she's lovely.

Connie Bowen said… - Hi, Nancy: Jesse doesn't seem to mind not having a tail. But I do think the tails shouldn't be cropped if the puppies are born with one. I'm totally against cropping tails and ears. I wish all the vets would just refuse to do it! ~ Connie and Jesse (and two rescue kitties, Brock and Carma)
