Hiking tour on July 5th, 2008

For the third time we invited all the owners of House-Barrett and House-Jack dogs to join us on a hiking tour

We decided again for the country site of our nice area in the so called "Odenwald", a landscape around the famous Bergstraße (Heidelberg area).

Again we had good luck with the weather

The families came from all over Germany. And again some families stayed over the weekend in a nearby hotel.

We want to thank everybody who joined us to make this wonderful day happen.

I am pretty sure, that we will go on another hiking tour next year

We hope, that one of these days families from the USA will join us on a nice tour like this.

We wish everybody the very best for the future
