I've looked at what other 4WD clubs were doing and they were saying that because of the presence of children, dogs were NOT allowed, which is what happened last year but for a different reason - there were fox baits laid everywhere.

My understanding at Tolmie is that they even run dog shows at the grounds, so they won't deny us having dogs, but as adults we have to consider the children that are coming along and as a committee we need to make sure that we encourage an environment where everyone feels safe and friendly.

Even child-friendly dogs can react badly to a child, especially if they're like my grandson ... oooh, look, balls! *grab* WOOF! HOooooooOOOWL!

I know we could say "dogs are allowed if they're people friendly" but there are pit bull owners that swear their dogs are fantastic around kids right up to the point where the dog rips off a chunk of toddler arm and then they'll blame the kid.

The problem is further compounded when a gentle, old small dog (like our Bichon) is allowed then other dogs must be allowed, and one of THOSE dogs takes a dislike to another dog and all of a sudden we've got 4WDs and dogs guts on display.

It really is a lot easier to ask people to NOT bring their dogs, because of all the extra hassle it could create.

yep....

That's what I was hoping no to do. Like if there was a way threw the high country not via the highway. I might have to get the map book out and have a good look

yeah, youll get through via Licola...Woods point/ Jamieson/ Mansfield tho go well prepped.....lot of trees down lately....most been cleared up, but its a long way back around if you come across a road block

Are any readers here familiar with the 4WD tracks in the area? I'd like to hear from you if that's the case, because there's going to be people itching to use them in 2 months' time!

I've seen Dave and Scotty when the moon is out and both were at last year's muster. I'm not worried!

Perhaps people should be asked to only take dog friendly children.........like dogs owners - parents should watch their children and teach them to behave......but this ain't the place for that discussion.

I hear what you say and I understand rules need to be made for those without the good sense to know what is acceptable.

Enjoy the muster.
