Dog Mountain: A Haven for Dog Lovers in Northern Vermont
In the heart of Northern Vermont lies Dog Mountain, a unique and captivating destination for dog lovers and art enthusiasts alike. This 150-acre property, purchased by artist Stephen Huneck and his wife Gwen in 1995, has been transformed into a place that celebrates the bond between humans and their canine companions.
Stephen Huneck, a self-taught folk artist, specialized in dog-themed woodcuts. His gallery at Dog Mountain showcases his heartwarming and whimsical creations, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the world of Huneck's enchanting canine characters.
One of the most distinctive features of Dog Mountain is the Dog Chapel, a serene space dedicated to the memory of lost pets. This unique chapel offers a place for pet owners to remember and celebrate the lives of their beloved companions.
The Dog Mountain summer dog party is another highlight of the venue. This annual event, open to all dogs and their owners, is a joyous celebration of the bond between humans and their canine friends. Leashes are optional at Dog Mountain, allowing dogs to roam freely and enjoy the hills, trails, and ponds that make up the property.
For those looking for a more active experience, Dog Mountain also offers an agility course. This course provides a fun and engaging way for dogs to exercise and show off their skills.
After Stephen Huneck's passing, the Friends of Dog Mountain organisation was formed to continue the tradition of dog parties and to maintain the spirit of Dog Mountain. This group ensures that the love and appreciation for dogs that Huneck instilled in Dog Mountain continues to thrive.
