Both of our pups are 5 years old and tend to keep to themselves unless they are in a playful mood. We live in a smaller house with a decent size back yard (pictures can be provided) and Fairmont dog park just a 5 minute drive away. We also have the Linear Trail across the street from the house where we often walk our pups. My wife works full time, but loves dogs too and is excited to meet all of the new puppies!
