Our first baby was a dog. Our second baby is a human. Dog-less now, but with love to share. We highly prefer hypoallergenic breeds as this is one reason we don't have a full time dog of our own (family and friends allergic to dogs.) Current stay at home mom who loves to walk in all weather conditions. Children in school who would love to be greeted at the end of a long school day by doggy kisses when possible. We've been wanting another dog for a long time, but it's not in the cards...this is the next best thing! Our first doggy baby had a life long doggy disorder, so we are hyper sensitive to the needs and cues of dogs. Big yard to play in supervised.
