OT: Dogs in Cities

[Guest guest]

This is strictly off topic, but after the four posts on Dog Lovers maybe

I can be forgiven. I have recently set up a group called Townhounds -

intended to address training and social problems (both canine and human)

as well as the practical issues of dogs in the city. Although I have

so-called 'hunting dogs' - a brace of beagles - both have been raised as

household pets only. Around here (a city of 350,000) it is assumed that

such dogs *are* hunters and belong in the country hunting rabbits etc. I

ran into other people with scent hounds and sight hounds - and yes even

spaniels and and and - The result is my list. It is not just for hounds

and hunting dogs, of course ;=) Anyone interested in all aspects of dogs

in the city (not whether or not they *should* be in the city if they are

large or sporting dogs) can be addressed.

 

One thing only - discussion of hunts and hunting is not decidedly *not*

encouraged ;=)

 

Replies?

 

Thanks for your indulgence.

 

best,
