I had a bichon for over 15 years and now I have shih tzu/bichon puppy that i just a bundle of joy. When your puppy/dog stays over, he/she will be well entertained! I live in a condo, but there is plenty of space inside and out. When we are outside, your dog will be able to enjoy 3+ miles of walking path around a golf course and common green areas where other dogs will also visit. If your dog is active and can run a leash, I'll make sure it gets plenty of exercise as well.
