I have loved dogs all my life in all the shapes sizes and colors they come in. I have raised three different puppies since I was 15. I am very good with them. I know that sometimes they can be a pain but I have patience and I am up for a challenge. I do have a dog door that is for a small dog but I have seen a full grown lab fit through it. So your dog will have 24hr yard privileges. I have a medium sized yard so your dog will be able to play and have fun. If you have a larger dog that requires a bigger backyard I also live down the street from a park and I can take them down there at request. I will take good care of your dog and you will never have to worry about them when they are in my care. I will treat your dog just like you do. I also have a small dog at home and she has been in an abusive home before I got her. She is good with other dogs and very friendly (not so much with people). But sadly I cannot accept German Shepards because this breed of dog bit her when she was a puppy and she freaks out when she sees them.
