I live in a house in Long Beach with a back yard and an open living room for dogs to stay. I do have a cat but he lives outside and eats outside so the dogs would never see him. I have owned animals my entire life and my specialty is bulldogs, I have read much literature on them and had owned one for 8 years. But I have also owned a poodle, pug, French bulldog, and Dalmatian. Currently I am a college student but for December, January, and the beginning of February I will be on winter break and will be available most hours. I love the outdoors and hiking so I have no problem taking your dog on long walks or to the local dog park.
