Growing up our family dog (lhasa apso) had a litter of 7 puppies, all of which we kept. I was about 12 at the time. As a result of this, and 2 dogs before the litter, I have extensive experience with dogs of many breed, age and size. One of the puppies accompanied me to college in New York. As an adult my husband and I had 3 dogs, 1 of which we lost almost 2 years ago to cancer. I have 4 kids, 3 young ones which love to spend most of their day outside, so your dog will have plenty of activity and sunshine. Our family loves dogs and we will treat yours as if they were our own. I promise, yours won't want to leave.
