Calling all Tennessee Dane parents!

[bssjm]

OK so another member and I were talking about meeting up for a play date sometime and it Brad and I to talking about playdates and how it's hard to socialize with other dogs due to the "keep that big thing away from me!" factor.

We thought if we could all meet for play dates with the danes in Nashville it would be nice. I have heard there are three dog parks there and well it would be nice to actually be around other Dane people. What do you think? Any takers?

Hi!

So I know this thread was started a few years ago. I posted on the intro forum. Hubby and I live near Nashville and just got our baby dane a month or so ago. Would love to do a playdate! PM me if interested!

I don't think so either. I am in Montgomery county but I don't mind a little drive. Anyone else interested?

[RCDagger]

Aw poor Val, that sounds traumatic. My experience at Shelby has been nothing but good. Most of the dogs seem balanced, and owners tend to intervene when unwanted bullying begins. I'd be willing to drive if we agree to meet-up somewhere closer to the general group. I don't think there are many Nashvillians on here.

[DaneyBopper]

I believe Shelby is about 2 hours from me but will have to look into it.
VAL hasn't been back to the dog park, except once, since she got attacked last year. It was very bad, she had a punctured lung which required surgery and sever lacerations to her neck , chest and legs which required sutures also. Since then she has been fearful of or over assertive to any pit bull type dogs, even boxers etc and I fear it will cause another fight. We are still working with her relentlessly. Its impossible to explain to her thathe dog who attacked her's owner was the one at fault for the attack. it is so war considering the dog park used to be her favorite place to go every weekend. Now we have been sticking to on leash socialization on our doggie days out like dog walks and pet stores etc.
Arkin, however would have a blast

So I'm just now reading this and it sounds like nothing ever came of it. Would anyone be willing to brave the cold one of these upcoming Saturdays to romp with other danes? Elvis and I visit the Shelby dog park multiple times a week and see danes about 1/5th of the time. I've been wondering about the Percy Warner Park as well. Throw out a date and chances are I'll be there!

meet in chattanooga.

This saturday, 7pm-9pm, DOGood at Greenlife grocery. All breeds welcome, however, several danes are usually there. Great op to meet and greet other dane owners.

We are about an hour south of Nashville and would love to meet!

Please let me know if anything is decided!

Cleveland Dane Party!

So, we were just invited to a friend's dane's birthday party in Cleveland on Saturday! You are all invited too. I know some of you were hoping to find more danes in one place, and here's the chance. There will be around 8 other danes there celebrating a birthday! It's saturday at 3pm in Cleveland, PM for address if you'd like to join us! Otherwise, we will probably be at the Hixson park around noon or so to tire EV out before festivities...

[redheadsnotwarheads]

Yeah, the Green Way park in Hixson is pretty nice. I'll probably be there Saturday if we don't make a plan somewhere else. If anyone want's to meet for a little while, let me know via pm.

I'm in the Chattanooga area, so I'd love something here, and would be willing to drive to Nashville on occasion. I'm not sure how my two big beasts would do with the long drive, but something nearby would be awesome.

Redheads, that Hixson park is rather close to me - I'm in Red Bank.

[IwannaDane]

I would love to do something like that! Duke's not ready for interactions with other dogs, but he will be someday In the mean time, I'd love hanging out with other Danes and Dane lovers .

I signed a petition the other day to get a dog park here in Cleveland, hope that goes thru. I'd love having something close to home

[DaneyBopper]

Im about 50 minutes north of Nashville. Would love to schedule a meetup in Nashville some weekend!!

[pinktan16]

We would love to bring EV out to a meet-up. There's a wonderful dog park at Greenway Park in Hixson, TN.

Roxy and I will be in Knoxville for the holidays, maybe there is a nice park half way between the two that they could meet and play out some energy!
