Default Looking for a property - dog training 2020

Our dog club is currently seeking a training location in the Calgary-Red Deer area for the year 2020. We've had a fantastic landowner who has allowed us the privilege of using their hayfields for the past several years, but they are planning to rotate to cereal next year. We'd like to have use on one or two days per month on weekends in May-August of at least 80 acres of hayfield or vacant pasture-type land, with a pond of at least 2 acres which has cover (such as cattails) around the edges and sufficient depth for dogs to swim. If you have or know of a suitable property, we'd be happy to discuss possible arrangements. Please PM me for further details.

Personally I would hit the Colonies.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll put that forward to the board for sure.

You could also try the ACA. They have a lot of property and some of it is converted farmland.

Thanks for the good suggestions. We'll likely be taking a look at investigating some of those possibilities.
