I have had experience with pets, mostly dogs since I was 7 years old from having a Dalmatian, German Shepherd, chihuahua and Labrador to a cute pug(nephew). I currently have 2 cats. Both spayed and swear to god are the sweetest. Although they wouldn’t be a problem because they know limits and know when to back off once their mom, me, says no. Trust me, they’re sweet! I love dogs and always have especially because they help keep a person active and am willing to go on walks and adventures with your fur baby and have NO problem bathing as well of course if it is needed. I do have a 4 year old daughter though who loves animals but is intimidated by the size
