Hi, everyone! Can anyone direct me to a great list or book of possible places in Northern California that one can go backpacking and camping with a dog. It's...
Hi Bobbie, What you need to look for is hikes in National Forests. Two books I've used to get me started are "75 Hikes in California's Lassen and Mount Shasta...

I have an Australian Cattle dog who is great. They tend to bond with one person and then stay with you very well while hiking. He does shed a bit but is great...

I'd like to add my favorite quality for hiking with aussie's (at least mine) is that he won't let me out of his site. Even if with other dogs, if they all go...
I agree completely with this. I walk/hike off leash daily, on the timber company forestlands behind my house. My dog spooks up deer--even wild pigs! Bounds...
