Ruffey Lake Park Biggies, Whippies and Iggies Walk

Ruffey Lake Park Biggies, Whippies and Iggies Walk is an initiative of Rehomed Retired Racers

This is not a general walk but specifically aims to provides an opportunity for confident Biggies, Whippies and Iggies to mix with their less confident and timid fur friends.

The walk is designed to help timid, anxious and shy dogs to gain confidence in a non threatening environment and learn about being brave and happy in a social situation.

The Walk also provides an opportunity for potential owners to come along and meet these outstanding animals, chat with owners and take one for a "test drive" in the beautiful surrounds of Ruffey Lake Park Doncaster.

The group meets at The Boulevarde car park on the first Saturday and the third Sunday of the month @ 9.30am for a 10.00am start.

With his big white chest and ever-so-slight Roman nose, this charming boy has a unique look that only adds to his appeal.

Full of personality and charm, Hercules combines confidence with a loving disposition, making him a wonderful companion for an active family looking for a dog who loves human connection.

Cowboy

3 years old

Cowboy is a handsome boy with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. Sweet, friendly, and full of personality, he is an outgoing and confident boy who loves spending time with his people. Cowboy is affectionate, playful, and delightfully puppyish at times, often seeking eye contact and looking for ways to engage with those around him. He is eager to please and thrives on attention, especially when it comes in the form of a full-body scratch.

Cowboy has experience living indoors and comes crate trained and toilet trained, making him well prepared for life in a home. He can be enthusiastic when heading out for a walk, but once his initial excitement has passed, he settles nicely and walks well on lead. Cowboy may suit a home with or without a canine companion of a similar size and would likely enjoy living with older children in their teenage years. With his loving nature, happy outlook, and entertaining personality, Cowboy is sure to bring plenty of smiles to his future family.

Brasi

4 years old

Brasi is a bold and boisterous four-year-old boy who approaches life with boundless enthusiasm and a zest that is truly infectious. This confident, outgoing extrovert loves nothing more than launching into a set of zoomies, and his excitable, impulsive nature means there is never a dull moment when he is around. Brasi is a treat and toy enthusiast, and his friendly, energetic personality makes him an absolute joy to be around for those who can match his lively spirit. Brasi would thrive in an active home with a confident owner who can provide calm, consistent guidance — particularly on lead, where he can be a little erratic when excited. He may suit life as an only dog or alongside a similarly-sized canine companion and could potentially share his home with children aged 10 and older. One thing is non-negotiable though: Brasi needs a secure backyard where he can stretch those long legs, tear around to his heart’s content, and truly be himself.
