I always had dogs and cats since I was a baby, I had loads of experience. Have 2 small doggies called Benji and Molly. They really love to play with other dogs. I have a 2 year old who really is in love with animals. We have nice big garden and also frequently take my dogs for a walk. We have doggies who stay at ours quite frequently. Every dog is more than welcome to lay on the sofa and come everywhere in the house. Well behaved dogs welcome to our home! Bear in my that I have a two year old so animals must be up to date with their vaccinations and also need to be well trained. Any questions please ask,Ill get back to you
