Number 62 - Self Catering

...2 adults and up to 6 dogs have been the limit so far. As dog owners ourselves I think that we are as dog friendly as we can be.  My biggest concern for dogs is that they are left in hot cars, so I tell people that they can leave their dogs in the accommodation on hot days, as I feel that this is such a worry for dog owners. So far we haven't had any damage done by lonely dogs, or had any complaints from the neighbours about excessive barking, and I just wish that more accommodation providers gave a little thought to well behaved dogs welfare. As for people to doggy ratio; if you can cope with walking them - bring them. ______________________________________

The Silverdale - Guest House

...we don't have a "doggy" limit.  We have had five small dogs in a room, two big dogs, all shapes, colours, sizes they are all welcome here.  The only limit is the amount of space in the bedroom.  We would rather limit the people than the dogs!

We have treats waiting for your dog in the room, dog bowls, a grotty towel so that you won’t be afraid of drying him off after a long walk and we even supply a dog tag to put on his collar just in case he wanders off! ______________________________________

Breahead B&B - Opening June '07

Breahead B&B is situated on the edge of the Grampian Mountains and has “great dog walks in the Angus Glens” and also on the east coast “beaches which have miles of golden sands and even in the middle of summer are only frequented by doggie people”.

We don't intend to limit the number of dogs per room - numbers will depend on size and breed of dog. We have to be realistic and, where as we may take 4 `Westies' for example, we couldn't take 4 St Bernards (the rooms really just aren't big enough!) In time we aim to build day kennels so that people can leave their dogs safely if they wish to go somewhere where dogs aren't welcome. ______________________________________

Midtown Cottages - Self Catering

Firstly, the size of our cottages. They are not tiny but neither are they huge. They will accommodate four adults comfortably but if you then start adding large dogs, there's a distinct possibility you'd be under each others' feet! As an example, Jane & I have at times had three fully grown Golden Retrievers. We may, of course, like more space than you but we think that that is a nice balance and that adding more people or dogs would start to make it feel crowded. So perhaps four adults with a couple of small dogs or just two adults with three, perhaps four large dogs would be sensible. Other combinations are, of course, possible and as regards crowding, we're likely to leave the decision to you. ______________________________________

Paws for a Walk is a new nationwide service which has been launched to put fellow dog walkers in touch, whatever part of the country they happen to live in or be visiting. The club is aimed at women who want to meet up and share a walk with their dogs.

One of the great things about walking with your dog is the people you can meet. Dog owners are usually only too happy to chat to any fellow pet lovers they may meet when their footpaths cross. Often you can strike up a firm friendship with a fellow dog walker you just happened to bump into (not literally, of course!) while enjoying a walk on the beach, by the river or over the hills in any of the many picturesque parts of Britain
Rather than relying on a chance encounter, though, how much better it would be if you could arrange in advance to share your dog-walks with like-minded people, wherever you are in the country. Well, now you can.
