Our next walk will be in Creamery Road Mangere. It’s a huge fenced off lead dog area where the dogs can run for miles! There is a trough there with running water for the dogs to have a drink and a cool down before carrying on around the grassed area.

This walk is suitable for all dogs of any age. If you want to bring your puppy you can as long as he/she is fully vaccinated. You can make the walk as long or as short as you wish. We love to see all the family on these walks and they are not exclusive to Labradors.

See flyer for full details.

For anyone who hasn’t joined us for our walks before this is a happy social occasion for dogs and owners. We are happy for non-Labrador people to join us as long as their dogs are sociable and are under reasonable control. We will meet at the carpark near the Surf Lifesaving control rooms at Karioitahi beach. Dogs MUST be on a lead until we are away from the carpark area but after that they are free.

Our walks are not suitable for dogs under 10 months old as it can be too demanding on young ones and they can get pushed around by the older dogs. We usually walk for about two hours and know a nice cafe in Waiuku for a reviving coffee afterwards.

We walk whatever the weather so suitable clothing should be worn. Being on the beach shoes are optional but it pays to bring towels for yourselves and the dogs. It might pay to bring a fresh water drink for the dogs as they sometimes over do the salt water drinks. However there are fresh water streams along the beach where they can drink.

Any question – Contact Sally Felton 0272294803

Directions
South of Auckland head for Waiuku along the Glenbrook Waiuku Road. When you reach Waiuku turn right into King Street and fairly quickly turn left into Constable Road. This road becomes Karioitahi Road which you follow until you reach the beach. The last stages are down a pretty steep hill and at the bottom you swing left into the carpark area.

Below are a couple of photos taken at a previous walk at this location.

We are lucky to have been invited by Mrs Beverly McConnel to take our older Labradors to walk round her beautiful garden, Ayrlies, in Clifton Road Whitford. This has been arranged for Saturday 9th June at 10am – see flyer.

To qualify as a Senior the dogs must be over 9 years old and the walk is done with dogs on leads all the time. Also please remember poo bags.

The cost per dog is $10.00. We will be walking on paths but this time of year it can be wet so suitable shoes should be worn.

We have been asked to drive in the main gate and park next to a turn around area near the house.
If there is any doubt at the time due to weather etc. please phone Sally 0272294803

It would also be nice to have some idea as to how many dogs will be taking part in this walk so please phone/text Sally 0272294803 or email barsal1945@gmail.com
