I have been surrounded by dogs ever since I was little. We have raised a portuguese water dog and two irish setters. They are all three large dogs, so I have had experience with big dogs and I have watched many little dogs too. I am doing this because I know many times I was busy and struggled to get my dog outside and get him the nice exercise he needed and this is a great way for me to help other dog owners. I will happily challenge your dog to a game of fetch, or a playful(not harmful of course) tug of war. Although I am not on the small side, you could consider me the gentle giant! Can't wait to meet your dog!
