I have had a multitude of dogs throughout my life, all teaching my something different not only about their own breed but about all dogs as a whole. Each dog is different, and each dog has its own special needs and wants, just like all of us as well. As well as owning a multitude of dogs, i have taken care of quite a few as well, and am always more than happy to because of the joy of getting to meet a new dog as well as a new dog species. If you were to allow me to watch your dog for a given 30 minute period, it would honestly turn into almost an hour just because of me wanting to be able to play with another dog for an extended amount of time rather than just petting it as i go by.
