If you are intending to take a dog into a CWG cemetery think again -it would be very disrespectful.I doubt that the staff would allow you to take the dog in should they be on site.By the way I am a dog owner but I would never take her into a cemetery out
of respect for the deceased and their relatives.went to CWG at Ranville to place a flower on a grave and took my dog in while staff were doing the gardening behind us with no problem he was on a very short lead and was well behaved and certainly not disrespectful also found that dogs are permitted,I guess
it's about responsibility in the end0 -
Taking our dog into a War Cemetery is something we've never done or even considered – perhaps I'm a bit too sensitive.
The Cemeteries we've visited in France have all been carefully maintained by the Cemetery Staff who take great care in maintaining the Monuments, Graves, lawns, flowers, plants and other features such as crosses
and flowers brought by visitors.Most dogs who are taken in will either want to urinate or defecate and although the residents of the Cemetery may not be in a position to object almost certainly many of the Staff and visitors may take a dim
view of someone's dog doing its 'business' in the Cemetery area.One dog will urinate, through necessity or marking territory, and every other dog will automatically go at the same spot.
Graves would be damaged by constant urine, grass turned yellow and any faeces left unmoved is always a problem.
Keeping dogs out of a War Cemetery should be common sense.

We are in Normandy now with our little dog. We want to visit the cemeteries but it looks like a no no. I can understand about taking a dog in can be disrespectful if it urinates or poos.You never know with a dog no matter how quiet and well behaved it is.We
love our little dog and because she has a chronic illness requiring daily medication we didn't want to leave her in kennels.She does stop us doing many things but we wouldn't be without her..Lets just say we are not having another dog after this one. We have
owned a dog for over forty years.We are visiting the Somme the end of June and we have booked her into a petsitters for a couple of days.

my dog didn't urinate or do his business in the cemetery as he was walked well before hand and was kept on a very short lead like I said
common sense tells me to keep an eye on my dog while in these places,not be told I can't take him by the sanctimonious online, your reply is ridiculous......oh and the staff were ok with him being there if you actually read my post
