I don't worry about the water temp at all...lol. If it's too cold for them they won't go in but ours have never had that problem at any time of year.

If we go to the beach, I'll have to bring 10 towels and hide them all in my trunk until it's time to go home, or Bear will get wet just to come run over and roll around with the towel.

He's pretty shy about water, at the moment. Even the rain, he was SO UNHAPPY when I scooted him outside to potty on Thursday morning. Maybe y'all's pups can teach him to enjoy the water. At the very least it'll be comical to watch his reaction.

Is there a dog beach that's pretty secluded or empty? Can I bring treats with me? Or will that incite a puppy riot? Bear is easily excited so i doubt he'll come when he's called. But I'm sure he'll follow his friends to Hawaii if need be.

I will not have a puppy for several months but eventually I would love to meet up! I'm in north county SD.

None of the beaches in SD are crowded in the winter. Not sure about HB since it's the only one in OC.

We'd LOVE to but we're going to the show in Indio that weekend.
And Dog Beach at HB is pretty busy, with LOTS of happy dogs. Parking can be challenging. Bring plenty of quarters, as it is metered parking.

I'm dying to meet Smooch. I've seen her pictures, and she is BREATH TAKING.


Are we open to a specific time on the weekends? I'm a morning person, but sometimes I like to sleep in.

Did we decide on a date? I may be at the Indio show one day as well the first weekend in Jan. I don't think I'm showing anything but may go to cheer on some friends. Is that the only weekend that works for people??? I would prefer early afternoon rather than early morning

The weekend of January 12-13 would be fine with me. Early afternoon would be best.

I don't think my pup will be able to make it until late February or March. Too young. I won't even have him until the end of January. But I would love to have a meetup, and dog beach in HB is a perfect location.

Or we could take over the dog park in Coto de Caza, which is always empty and is much nicer than most dog parks. And there is plenty of parking, it's always safe, we wouldn't have to worry about seriously dirty dogs, and the temps are nice.
