The days are still long and quite hot so we profited from the elevation at Seeberg Lake at the end of Diemtig Valley in the Bernese Oberland alps. And of course we found time for an outdoor lunch and splashing around in a cold creek.
Looping around Hinterstocken and Oberstocken lakes back to the aerial tramway. A fantastic day out – but such an expensive trip if you do take the tramway up and down, I forgot this is Switzerland… yet how Farkas accepts the trails and then jumped straight into the fresh water was priceless.
A lot of fun, challenges, and of course, Vizslas of all ages
The hot early-summer weather was the perfect opportunity to get the dogs into the river. Under the lead of experienced Dexter, me swimming a bit further out and some encouragement, Farkas got in and swam like a chainsaw – and that’s what I looked like after the swim since I let him get too close to me.
At least, very tired again at home, so lounging by the pool…
Getting up on Geissflueh and Passwang “peaks”
As you can see, there are plenty of other Vizslas around to meet and play with. Here’s Süti, a 2-year old rescue from Hungary. Very little is known about his past, but Hands4Paws, a great institution rescuing hunting dogs and then finding new homes for them, certainly did a good job in getting him out of his misery. He is now living nearby, together with an older Vizsla lady and the owner, a long-time Vizsla person.
Visit to my parents and Gondos, somehow a distant relative and so similar in character it seems. And he is nice enough to let me steal his favorite toys, sleep in (and scratch up!) his daybed and to show me his favorite forest trails
Suddenly it is quite hot outside and we discover the Aare river by tipping our paws in it, seek shade in the forests higher up in the Jura hills or windy passes near and far.
We took a longer hike today to Obere Wechten in the Jura chain mountains. I had to complain a bit and then was really tired.
