We have been on the road for 3+ years with two greyhounds. Unfortunately, one of our dogs died last month.

We have encountered some campgrounds that do not allow dogs over 30 pounds. I don't understand that because my experience has been that the larger dogs for the most part are better behaved. I think it is because as owners of large dogs, we have to have better control over them. Our dogs do not bark. They do not run free. I have a real problem with people who allow their dogs to bark and run free.

We have also experienced parks that charge extra for dogs. We have paid as much as $40 a dog for a month long stay. What is that fee for? It's not like we are not picking up their poo and we are definitely not going through $40 worth of doggy bags.

We do our research before we choose a campground and we also ask when making the reservations to be sure that they allow large breeds.

we have a GSD, she is 2 1/2 and still a puppy, shes sweet but gets excited when people come over and loves attention, needs to calm down, hope to see her calm down a little more at three yrs old,  were just starting with her in our MH this month, california which calls itself a dog friendly state is the most restrictive state when it comes to dogs, it is almost comical

PS At a park while back while walking the dogs on leash (male 110 lbs and female 85+ lbs) a small spaniel attacked. Even though circling the dogs and barking our dogs ignored it. Soon the owner raced in to apologize. I nickname dogs like this "Death Wish".

Jack,

Our Shar-Pei, also well trained ignored any of Death Wish's relations. We encountered them at many parks. Several ankle biter owners thought it was funny. Bogart ignored them. We had a scare when a pair of large dogs came out from a yard. Fortunately their owner was right behind trying to catch them. They more worried about him than interested in us. LOL!

But that is a valid warning.
