Low Country Doodles

We live in a community called Long Cove on Hilton Head Island. this year, we opened our own dog park, with wonderful amenities. It's Tucker's "back-yard". He has two play groups that meet at different times during the day. It's less than a mile from our house, so on good weather days, we walk there and back and he has time to play with his buds, It has been just a great thing for a growing puppy. Wish other communities would be as dog friendly as ours. The big park at Chaplin is too big for a puppy and too busy. Between the park and the beach we are set.

Besides the beaches, does anyone know of other doggie parks in the area? I find one at Chaplin Park: Located between Singleton and Burkes Beach road.

Will certainly do that, Carol. We will post anything here and also in the events page. That might attract others for a distance.

Please let us know if you are planning to get the doodles together, we would love to join in.

Sorry I haven't responded sooner. We do have quite the collection of handsome Doodles. We are working on a few folks in this area, also. When the weather gets a bit warmer, maybe we all could head that way for a short romp on the beach. The closest beach here is St. Simons and that would be too far for everyone there. Tybee does not allow any pets on the beach at anytime. We are working on that.

Guinness had a hard time with his event. Hope Tucker fairs better. Are you or anyone aware of someone wanting to re-home a Doodle? We have a family here looking to adopt one.

I have met so many doodles on the beach! It's amazing how many there are on the island, I've tried to get them to join the group, but obviously not happening, I'll try to collect e mails next time I meet others. There are two new girls in my plantation of Long Cove Club. they are sisters from a litter in Columbia. (Lulu and Gracy). I'm working on them, but they're only 8 wks. now.

Tucker became Tucker-Lite today. these little boys all have to go thru this but he is so miserable it is breaking my heart, In two weeks the stitches come out and then we're back to the beach and the dog park with his buddies.

doesn'[t our Low-country group have the cutest doodles! Love the pics.

Welcome Carol and Elaine. We have not been successful in finding any romps in this area. Seems Doodles are not common. We were hoping to attract some Doodle families with this group so we could organize some events. Any ideas?

We live on Hilton Head island with our 5 month old mini golden doodle Tucker. He's just getting acc;imated to the beach so don't have him off leash yet, but had our yellow lab off leash on the beach for many years. If you have a dog in voice control, there are many hours during the day when the beaches are empty. Until they are really old enough to listen well and ignore other dogs, I wouldn't let them loose, but they do love the beach!

I have met ;many many other doodles on our beach walks! Maybe we'll see you there one day.

There certainy is reason to be very careful of the alligators, but common sense will keep them safe.

I think a low-country romp would be great. How do we get it done?

We moved to Bluffton from Utah in February 2008. My husband lived most of his life in Charleston so for him it was moving back home. We love living here with our Doodle Tanner. We have a wonderful trainer in the area and so far Tanner has taken water rescue classes and agility which is is in right now.
Does anyone know if there are any doodle romps in the area?

Welcome Kara and Family,

Bluffton is a beautiful area. We moved from the Baltimore area and live just outside of Savannah and in the woods. Yes, there are alligators and snakes, but unless you are in the wilds, you should not have a problem, especially if you have a fenced yard. The poisonous snakes tend to stay away from built up and residential areas. The alligators are usually in the swamps, ponds, lakes and the rivers. We take our Guinness, a chocolate Labradoodle, swimming at the local boat ramp on the Ogeechee River. We keep him on a leash when in the water and watch him and the area very closely. Like the snakes, the gators tend to stay away from people unless they get very hungry. We have not had a problem as of yet, but we have been cautious when the environment requires it. Use common sense.

There are several beaches close to you that are dog friendly. Here is a link to the ones on Hilton Head:

We take Guinness to Jekyll Island since it is closer to us. All require a leash and some have restrictions to the times one can bring their dog, usually according to the season.

Good to have you aboard. If you have any other questions about the Doodles in our Low Country, please ask.
