What kind of life does a larger dog have? Longer fur, heat, hot pavements, no place to run free....doesn't sound like it is a lot of fun.
Sorry, but I totally disagree. And I wouldn't want owners of large dogs to get the idea they should abandon the plan of moving to The Villages. There is a ten-acre dog park on the outskirts of TV where dogs can romp and play off leash. It's huge and and costs us only $30 per month for two dogs. There are three smaller dog parks provided free within TV, which are golf-cart accessible.

There is the Springdale walking trail, for walking leashed dogs, as well as miles and miles of multi-modal trails with beautiful views. The Vilages is a very pet friendly community and most residents love dogs! Ruf Ruf Woof Woof!! l
