I don’t even own a dog and I’ve been there a number of times, just to hang out, have a beer and pet OTHER people’s dogs.

There are tons of DILP's (dog's I'd like to pet).

I hone in on big dogs and especially Great Danes. Fortunately there’s someone there with a Dane pretty often. I grew up with labradors and other large dogs, but about 20 years ago I had two Great Danes. Best temperament of any breed, hands down. I miss my girls, and enjoy occasionally getting to recharge my Dane nuzzle battery.

Interesting to know !
I have been planning on stopping there after a bike ride with my kids, but I was not sure how dog free people would be welcome.
I am sure they ll be happy to see all those dogs running around while I’m having a beer.

We have 3 great danes with a 4th one currently on a rescue transport from a kill shelter in California. He should arrive tomorrow. We avoid dog parks as small dogs seem to like to challenge them. They are well trained but can be reactionary if threatened.

Yeah, that was my experience fairly often taking my girls to the dog park at Hefner. People who should have kept their small dogs on the small dog side were notorious for yelling when they got trampled by the bigger dogs, and Danes stick out like sore thumbs (and can be energetic and clumsy). They were often targeted for complaints despite being incredibly gentle and friendly to absolutely everyone. And some small dogs can get aggressive when confronted by something many times their size. It’s a bad mix.

The thing I like about Bar K is that the employees actively monitor and police those interactions. I’ve never seen anything get out of hand there.

This might be the best acronym I've seen in a long time. Love it!

I am very glad you defined your acronym... my immature mind was questioning.
