I have had dogs my whole life, from Maltese to Bull Mastiffs. We have also bread Chocolate Labs, so I am really familiar with puppy & dog behavior and handling them. I am a very active / athletic person therefore if the dog needs to be taken for walks or runs i am all in! All dogs no matter shape or size melt my heart, there is just something about them that just make me happy and makes me feel at peace. I house sit a few times a year where they have one to two dogs. My mom has two Chocolate Labs and one Australian Sheppard, I go over there once a week for dinner and take the dogs for a walk with my mom.
