My mom had a white German Shepherd named Snowball when I was in high school; she was an excellent guard dog but was also gentle. I have a chihauhu and blue nose pitbull-they are my boys! They are the best of friends. They love my son and daughter, its hard for them to choose who to cuddle with. I work full-time during the day; we like to take a walk before bed, we love the fresh air! On the weekends we take a longer walk just because-they love it. Animals are very smart and have their own personality; if they could talk they'd have alot to say. I can be reached after 5:00pm. I would be a great walker for your dog. Thank you for your time.
