Hi, I'm Adrian! In my eyes, all "dogs" are puppies. This is because they are all big or small balls of fur wanting to be loved! My family has had several dog breeds, Golden Retrievers, American Staffordshire Terrier, Poodles and some mixed breeds as well. Not caging our animals allowed them to feel at home and they were trained even faster. Your puppy will go on walks and runs, they will be able to "stop and smell the roses", and they will be loved as if they are my own! Your only worry will be how much your puppy misses our outdoor time when I leave for the day. I believe that puppies are apart of our families and I look forward to meeting your family-fur-member!!
