Things I learned at the dog park.
1) The doberman definitely is a dog park kinda gal. She played nice with everyone if a little over the top enthusiastic.

2) She thinks she is a lab! Her favorite thing was to splash in the stream and she was wet from head to foot.

3) I really gotta work on the off leash recall! She and the hound took off for parts unknown thank goodness it is fenced. They made a whole lap before I could get them in sight again.

So now I need to find an empty fenced area for off leash recall. On leash she's spectacular and really even off leash in an obedience type setting but high distractions and boom she blows it.

Sounds like your dogs had a great time!
We enjoy dog parks as well!

A couple of things I learned about dog parks:

1) Get the recall down before you let your Dobe loose at the dog park.

2) BECAUSE some other dogs don't know how to react to the over-the-top enthusiasm, and some don't know how to behave at all, and some owners are morons.

3) Some owners are morons ;)

ETA: Roxy loves the water when we're out as well...doesn't matter if there is ice floating on it still! lol

My pup loves the dog park too! It's probably his favorite place in the world. He will play with any dog. However, we only take him there with our dog park club that our obedience trainer runs. All the members have well socialized dogs and we all watch over one another to make sure nothing gets out of hand with idiot owners or their dogs. :p
