I grew up on a farm around tons of animals. I’ve always had dogs. I’ve had as many as 7 dogs as pets and I’ve trained puppies. I have lots of experience with giving dogs specialized care (diabetic shots, oral medications, etc). I have a very energetic German Sheppard who is just over a year old. He loves to run and play with dog friends; frisbee is very popular at our home. I have a little over an acre yard, so there’s plenty of play space. We have dog beds for your pup to sit and rest on, but we don’t allow dogs on our furniture usually (that’s because my big lug thinks he’s a lap dog and would take over the couch). I have a 5 year old son and a 8 month old son.
