I have had dogs all my life , grew up on a farm and lived on a large ranch, My dogs are inside and outside dogs ,weather permitting, and sleep inside year round. My kids are grown and out of the home and I take my dogs everywhere. I live 3 miles from a great off leash dog park and go 3 times a week so my girls can get to play and run with other dogs. My dogs love all other dogs and each other. I have a nice fenced yard and live on a quite street in a country subdivision. I have a SUV with a dog gate and a truck with a camper shell for transport. My lawn and home are very clean and I am phycially fit to keep up with with your fur Babies
