I grew up on a farm and have trained a few German Sheppard for show and also trained working dogs for the farm. Now in the city I don't get to see as many pets as I once did and love to get to know other pets. Our family is at full capacity with 5 furry friends which is enough for our family of 5. We have two cats that come in and out as they wish and a large breed dog. The male dog is happy in one of the kids bed if a smaller dog gets nervous around larger dogs.
