doggie swimming ?
Is there a place where dogs can swim in the Villages ?
Considering moving down and have a black lab that loves to swim. Thanks from me and Koda ! |

Mainly only in your pool at home. Every pond in florida has the potential for a resident alligator. They don't like to share.

Your best bet is to move near the ocean and have him swim in the Gulf or the Atlantic. As Don said, most ponds, lakes and any fresh water will probably have a gator or at least have one on occasion.

There is a park about 20 miles from The Villages. Bark Central Dog Park Really nice.

I believe that Doggie Do Run Run in Oxford may have a pond in their dog park.

The Bark Central dog park in Inverness mentioned above, about a 40-minute drive, has a man-made pond and is fenced in, so they've never see an alligator on the grounds. It's $10 a visit or $30/month for a subscription. Still, the pond is not deep or long enough for retriever-type swimming. It's filtered, and there are dog wash facilities (free for the outside hose; pay for the inside tub wash). There's Flagler Beach on the ocean side (about 1.5 hours), but dogs must be on a leash. We take a very long line so ours can actually swim. Then there's Venice Beach on the gulf side. They have an off-leash dog beach attached to a fantastic dog park. That's the best I've found down here, but it's too far away for a day trip.

There is a home on thevillages.com today that has a pool and the price is $244,000. Usually homes with pools cost more. I thought it might make you think of buying a home with a pool. Some dogs so enjoy swimming, like yours, but they aren't allowed in The Villages pools.

We cannot have every single thing we want in this world. I think that dogs not swimming can still be very happy dogs.

Dogs in pools
Who knows what “rights” dogs might get in the future. I never thought that I would see dogs (other than for the blind) in restaurants and stores but here we see this daily.
