Calling all Great Pyrs, Berners, Newfies, St. Bernards, Danes, Shepards, Bouviers, Wolfhounds, Mastiffs, Big Labs and whatever-mixes! Let's get together with our BIG DOGS and have some fun times. I'd like to find a fenced-in area where we can go off-leash safely but for now we'll have to overrun a dog park or two! I'm also thinking of a combination of walks on the Blackstone Bikepath, fund-raising walks and any other events of interest to members. I would like to set Sundays at 1:00PM as a regul …

Hi! I just moved to RI last fall from NYC, the Lower East Side, with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, named Merlin Manhattan. We miss our New York doggie playgroups so we are creating our own right here in RI. I have an indoor space to host play groups for dogs around 25 lbs and under. While our doggies play pattycake-pattycake, we and our friends can enjoy mimosas. Oh and this isn't just for dogs, if you love dogs, but don't have one of your own, this meetup is for you - it's about getting peo …

Welcome, and thank you so much for your interest in our beloved bully breeds!  A "bully breed" is a slang term that loosely refers to any dog breed of bulldog ancestry, chief among them, the American pit bull terrier.  The NEBBC, however, has a special affinity for any breed that is discriminated against. All breeds and ages are welcome at our events! You need not have a bully to be part of our group, only a love of them!  So grab your pooch and join us for a walk, hike, fundraiser, training cla …

Like most greyhounds, my big beautiful brindle boy, Jacoby, loves other greys immediately. I thought I'd like to let him meet other greyhounds in the area. We can walk, we can play, we can chase. And we can make new friends -- greyhound and human alike. Please note: This group is meant for greyhounds and their humans only, as greys typically get nervous around other dog breeds. We'll stick to walking in parks where the terrain isn't so bad until the winter thaws out a bit! Be sure to check out t …
