I am in a great group that hikes with dogs. I bring my chihuahua, Mr. Chubbs, with me every Sunday and hike with a group of about 20 other dogs of all sizes. He gets along with all of them! If there’s water along the way most of the dogs go for a swim. Not Chubbs! I live on lake Hayward so if your dog likes to swim he or she would love it here. I live on a dirt road with no traffic and the cars have to go slow. There is 100 acres of woods across the street from me which makes it a very peaceful place. Your dog would love it here as do I and Mr. Chubbs! My neighbor doesn't like dogs in his yard so I have to make sure they don't wander over there.
