Born and raised in Alaska, grew up with 2 Alaskan malamutes. As kids, the dogs were our responsibility. When I moved out, the first thing I wanted to do was get a puppy. I have two of my own, a lab and a beagle, which are like my children! They're spoiled rotten & my best friends. I'm active duty military so my availability varies as I work shift work, however, between my husband and I, someone is always home! I have a large, fenced back yard for dogs to run and play in. My pups both love to play. I am a very active person so I'd love to get outside and walk your pup! My husband is a runner and normally takes our lab out on a 2 miler every morning, so if your dog wants some good exercise, they can join! I am also a full time college student, so most of my days off are spent working on homework- getting out to take care of the pups is much needed and welcomed!
