Moving to San Diego
It's been a very long time since I've posted here, but my time in Japan is coming to an end and I will be moving to San Diego at the end of March. I'm looking for potential NK play buddies for Shogun (Kai) to meet. I have never been to California so we are pretty nervous about the move and having someone for Shogun to run around with after we settle in will make the experience much more satisfying.
Shogun turns 3 in April and still has a young puppy spirit and loves to run, so if not a playmate, then any suggestions on off leash parks would be much appreciated as well. Thanks!

I live in San Diego (north county, vista to be exact) and work down in point Loma by the navy base. I have two kai girls currently, and I know at least one of them would LOVE a kai buddy! The other could be nice, but she acts crumudgety sometimes lol
There are a few off-leash dog beaches (fiesta island, Coronado and del mar are the few I know), and depends where you're close to for more things...I ususally do trails with my girls
I don't utilized dog parks, but I know of Mayflower Dog Park in Escondido area, Ranch Bernardo Dog Park in the Rancho Bernardo area, Doyle Community Dog Park in the UTC/La Jolla area, and Dusty Rhodes Dog Park in Ocean Beach. There's also one on the fringe of Balboa Park.
mdokic- I don't have a house lined up just yet, but I'm in the Navy and will be stationed at 32nd street so it won't be more than 30 minutes from there. It will be a couple months, but that will be awesome if he can meet your girls. By the way, they are very beautiful. How old are they?
Ayk- thank you for the extensive list of dog parks! My wife likes to utilize the dog parks while I prefer to find a trail, so she was pleased to see that we will have options. He just really hates being on the leash.
San Diego is awesome! I see, well, i'll be working very close to where you are! Fiesta Island and Coronado will be a must for you guys and your Kai if you like off-leash stuff. Ive seen dogs over at Breakers Beach on the Base at Coronado too, so maybe you could even take him/her there
Also, I don't know how into beer or not you guys are, but I frequently go to breweries esp after hiking with my girls since almost all the breweries are dog friendly, and we have AMAZING craft brew in San Diego (someone said to me yesterday we have around 70 breweries now? probably including the new nanobreweries and experimental ones)..
There are trails galore, so good you like those.
And other fun things...@zandrame and I do some lure coursing too since a club holds fun runs in the area
I'll PM you with my info so we can stay in touch when you guys come out
(Sorry to hijack your thread @ChrisMcGuire )
Just come move here hehe!
It's just nice to be able to almost always be able to walk out of your house and go do something outside.
Still, Virginia and Colorado are my two next favorite states so far that I could see myself living in!
(anything has to be better than the stupid cold currently gripping DC!)
