I have had big dogs since I was a kid. I have no children but I do have a fur baby, Luna is a catahoula girl who is super friendly and spoiled. I rather have big dogs but smaller dogs are fine. My house is big and I leave the yard available for them to go out and play, I’m very caring with them and allow them in bed and furniture with me as long as they are clean. Im able to train and teach them tricks, I do need specifications about their diet and what are they allowed to do at home to not overstep on the current training they have. If you have any questions don’t hesitate in reaching over and ask :)
