Does anyone know of a good place somewhere near Portland to throw sticks in the water for our Labs? Yesterday we tried the river at Willamette Park, but it is too muddy, like stepping in quicksand. A lake with a more sandy beach would be great. One of the Labs was abused before we rescued her and has fear issues with people, so the quieter the location is, the better. For a good location, I'm willing to drive a ways from town (but not as far as Cannon Beach every weekend), so if you have any ideas, please let me know.

I wish I lived closer to Portland to help more. I also had a lab and the dogs do love water!
If no one can give you a more specific answer, you might check out http://www.portlandpooch.com/ (Portland Pooch). The online magazine lists several specific dog parks, and they have an e-mail address listed. I'm sure one of the other dog owners there would know where there are good, quiet places to take the dogs for some water fun.
South of town is King City and Boone's Ferry Road. There used to be a tavern/park on the water's edge there and it was both quiet and good river access without the mud. But I'm pretty sure the tavern is gone now. Don't know about the park.
Enjoy the dogs!

You could try looking on a map for a lake, call the Department of natural resources and see if they can send you a map of the local lakes in your area. Good luck

My canines knows my sons call. I ask her to discover Oskar and she or he runs to him. it is possibly because of fact he's barely a newborn and that i'm continually asserting his call, and have been at homestead a brilliant sort of the day so she's listening to me call his call plenty :)
