Actually, we have two dogs, and we pay $30 per month for both, which is a great deal. Ten acres, separate facilities for large and small dogs, small "soaking" tubs in both areas. You will meet really nice people who share your love of dogs.

Our dogs love DDRR and so do we.

This YouTube http://youtu.be/5fE_h84b3ws will give you an idea about Doggie Doo Run Run. There are some dogs, however, that are too submissive, aggressive, or rambunctious to go there.

This is an older YouTube from June 2009. There have been a few chances since it was taken at DDRR. A pool in the big dog section is one of these and there are some additional fences meant to stop the fence running where the dogs bark at one another which you see in the YouTube.

I had a wonderful rescue Siberian Husky here in TV. We moved here from Ohio.Big dogs are very welcome as they are not as plentiful as the little guys, and draw attention. I recommend PAWS Hospital for vet care,they did a great job. You are right to be concerned about heat. Our Willow dog did blow her undercoat often ,be prepared . She loved laying on the tile floor and I put ice cubes in her water bowl. Do not have her shaved as the coat protects, and the sun is very strong on skin.
I used a great in their home dog sitting service that caters to big ( and small) dogs called Away from Home Pet Services , phone 352-391-2323. Contact me if you want or need more info about large dogs here or even just to chat! We are in the phone book. Or PM us

Tal, that's an excellent video to show the size of Doggie Doo Run Run, the privately-owned dog park.
It's immense in comparison to the small dog parks provided by The Villages.
We find DDRR excellent for our big dog.
And even our tiny dog loves to run with the greyhounds and rottweilers, who are surprisingly gentle.
And we enjoy socializing with other dog lovers while our dogs have a wonderful play time.

Two advantages of the three small dog parks provided by The Villages ....
They are free, and they are accessible by golf cart.
(The cost to us for unlimited visits to DDRR for our two dogs is only $30 a month - to us, that's a terrific bargain. And they pick up the poop!)

And now we hear the excellent news of a Villages dog facility to be built south of CR 466A.

Diane Ferguson, who has formed the Responsible Dog Owners Group, is responsible for making the way for a new dog park of about 2 acres. It will be located down by Brownwood near the new Publix and hopefully, work will begin on the dog park in or around October.

There was an informative YouTube attached to this-- Golf Cart Safety 2014 - YouTube

It does cover pets and golf carts. I always tie my dog into the golf cart with the leash and only like shorter leashes which will not get entangled in moving parts.

Here's a set of slides from the big field ay Doggie Doo Run Run. It is about a 5 acre sized piece of land that any sized dogs can go. It has some trees for shade and a swing. There is only water at the west side however. Some people carry water bottles to give water to their pooches in any parts of this big field.

We moved from CT two years ago and brought our rather larger than normal Aussie (80 lbs) and I do clip him in the spring and summer. His hair is so thick he still has a good covering from the sun. And I know he appreciates the cut. Our home has laminate throughout other than the laundry room and bathrooms. He spends a lot of time in those rooms in the summer. I walk him in the morning and in the evening (always with a bag in hand in the event...) but during the summer never during midday. The streets are really dangerous on their paws. I don't leave him outside for too long in the summer. But they do adjust. Just as we do. If you have a pool, he will be really happy

They do have booties for dogs that will protect their feet. The pavement is very hot in the summer. Evening and early mornings are best to walk your dog.

Thanks Bonanza.
That is excellent news for the dog owners living south of CR 466A.
