I have cared for dogs almost my whole life, getting my first dog in 1st grade. I have a lot experience with Shepard mixes, and beagles. But most dog types are welcome. My two dogs are my children. We have one princess beagle (6 years old), and one very relaxed shih tzu (12 years old). My husband works from home during the day so there is someone almost always home. He is also very hands on in taking care of our two little ones. He has about 16 years of experience taking care of dogs as well. The dogs are always able to go out on a regular basis. We walk, play, and give endless amount of cuddles. I believe our two child dogs would give us a great recommendation.
