Bishan Park has a Dog Park where you can unleash them and let 'em run I believe.Obeying The Laws
If you are a dog owner, take note of the licensing, leashing and muzzling conditions that are required by law. These laws include :
All dogs older than 3 months must be licensed. Licensing details are available here.
HDB apartments are allowed one dog of an approved breed or its cross. The cross should be 40 cm or less at the shoulders and weigh 10 kg or less. For the list of dogs approved by HDB, click here.
All dogs have to be leashed when in a public area. In addition, the Pit Bull, Akita, Neapolitan Mastiff, Tosa and their crosses, and the Bull Mastiff, Bull Terrier, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd Dog (and related breeds), Rottweiler and Perro de Presa Canario must also be muzzled.
A responsible dog owner should do the following :
License your dog once it has passed 3 months of age.
Discipline and socialise your dog properly.
Control your dog properly at all times and do not let it become a nuisance.
Do not allow your dog to bark excessively.
Have your dog on a leash when it is in a public place.
Muzzle it, if required by law.
Pick up your dog's poop in public places.
I used to have a freakishly oversized Irish Setter who though he was a sighthound. You mention of clearing a path through any locals...... reminded me of Murphy a lot. Picnickers at the lake near were I lived on the outskirts of Washington DC were often run over by my dog and another setter who also was brought down there a lot on weekends would get together and just take off like a pair of runaway trains across blankets with people on them and anything else that got in their way at full tilt!JR8 wrote:+1 - Agree with the general observations made by CG above. I'm familiar with sighthounds but haven't owned one.
I have a mental image of it bombing off down the beach at 40mph and clearing a path through any locals like the parting of the Red Sea. Come to think of it I've seen something similar with a friends greyhound off the leash in Hyde Park London, whenever it spotted a squirrel![]()
