Large family - 3 young adults currently residing here, the youngest is 16 - so lots of people contact and play time but we have had many dogs through the years and know the balance needed for different types of dogs between play and down time. Large back yard - dogs get plenty of free play time in back - fenced in Large front yard far back off the not-so-busy road - 2 cats also live here and they come and go inside and outside as they please. They are used to having dogs here but if your dog chases them they will stay outside longer. Ha ! We leash walk out front when needed. We have trails to leash walk as well. No walking on roads. Most of the time the dogs love the fenced in back yard. I work from home so I am here most of the time and my girls come and go with work/school commitments. Large clean simple home where dogs can freely roam about. They can choose how and where they sleep including with one of the kids if they like or in their own room or in their crate. Whatever they are used to is fine. My kids love to have dogs sleep with them. Our family bred labs and shelties for over 10 years learning to train well behaved puppies and how to manage many dogs at once. All my grown kids have dogs of their own now and we still have former customers and references calling us for more puppies. We do not breed any longer but that experience gave us alot of skill sets. Most of my kids have vet tech quality experience raising livestock as well as 2 breeds of dogs. They have given shots, pills, birthed puppies, dewormed and know alot of things to look for when a dog is not quite up to speed. Experience is key to knowing different types of personalities and attitudes of dogs.
