I love dogs of all breeds and so do my children who are age 9 and 12. I believe dogs bring so much love and joy into a home. I care for my dogs as if they were another child and in essence they are. I have raised a lot of puppies as we currently have a 5 month old yellow lab. From training them to fetch or stop digging in the yard and of course potty training, I have done it all. I would love playmates for my dog as it is the best form of energy release there is. I have owned various types of dogs throughout the years from all breeds, I have loved and cared for them from puppy stage to old age where they could no longer walk or eat by themselves which I think is the worst because being helpless makes your heart melt.
