A dogs tail #23 Traditional Cache

A series that will not only introduce you to some of the dog parks around the mornington peninsula but we will also be sharing some fun facts and information about a different breed of dog for every cache in the series! Although they are numbered they don't have to be done in order. We have also got our resident experts, Ebony (Gnome5580s geodog!) And Calypso (Beckgizs geodog!) Who will be giving each dog park a score of 1 to 5 paws depending on how much she approves of this park! 🐶 we hope you enjoy this series as much as Ebony and Calypso had testing each of these parks out 😉 and on that note here is their opinion of this park:

SL BUTLER RESERVE:

This reserve is a medium sized reserve with a playground at one end and a dog park at the other end. It does have a few seats and tables and nice big shady trees as well as a lot of shrubbery for your doggo to sniff and run around in! There is a bin at the Herbert St entrance but unfortunately this park doesn't have water available and while there is a fence on the Herbert St side there is no fence on the other side so you will have to make sure you can trust your dog not to run off! So because of these reasons Ebony and Calypso give this park a 3 out of 5 paws! 😊 The breed we have chosen for this park is one of the most well known breeds and is often used as police and guard dogs, of course we're talking about the:

German Shepherd:

The German Shepherd or German Shepherd Dog, also known as the Alsatian, is a German breed of working dog of medium to large size.

But be aware that they're a highly intelligent and energetic breed that needs a lot of exercise and stimulation to keep them happy and healthy! They're great for couples or families with older kids!

The Cache:

You are looking for a unique container that blends in very well with its environment. This park has the potential to be very busy so please use stealth when retrieving and placing back the cache and please make sure there is plenty of camouflage when re hiding so it can't be seen by passing muggles! There is a little prize for FTF, have fun and happy hunting! 🤠
