I have been in love with dogs since a young age, where I adopted a jack russell/rottweiler mix that became my best friend throughout my teenage years. We now have a large male golden retriever who is 6 years old, Kivu. We have a family with two young kids who love dogs. I wish we could offer Kivu a second dog companion but can't afford it at this stage, but would be very happy to have a boarder so he gets some social time. We walk 3-4 times a day, 2 of which are off lead in beautiful paths in the forest. We have a river close by with trails as well in Great Elm for those who love swimming l. We were really into dog training and did beginner gundog obedience with ours. We have treats at home and can work with dogs off lead if they're trained. Our dogs sleep downstaurs - we have a large house with two living rooms so they can be separated if they'd rather some time alone. Any dog we host needs to be kind to young kids and ok with a very friendly, albeit large, dog. Kivu is unneutered and gets along with the vast majority of other dogs, even males and unneutered. It is worth checking whether they will get along if your dog is also an equally sized male of a similar age.
