Hiking
tour on August 25th, 2012
For the sevent
time we invited owners of House-Barrett dogs to join us on a hiking
tour
This time we hiked along the banks
of the Rhine River between Hamm and Rheindürkheim.
The weather was
great, not too hot nor too sunny, and almost all the families, who
had registred for this trip did make it. This time we had a modest
group, about 40 people and 27 beautiful House-Barrett dogs.
Again families
joined us from all over Germany and other countries. Our furthest hiker
was an American who after the
hike was going to visit his sister stationed in southern
Germany.
We think, that
this hike was amongest the easiest, and the dogs must have enjoyed
swimming in the Rhine at one of the many 'Pit-stops' that were taken.
The hike only was about 14 miles long, not too long, so everybody were
able to make this trip easily.
We want to thank
all the families who joined us to make this wonderful day happen.
Next year we for sure will plan another
tour. At the beginning of next year we will announce the day when this
hike in 2013 will take place.
We wish everybody
the very best for the future
