Love running or hiking with dogs! Adventures are the best! I love playing outside with dogs because I think a lot of times dogs lash out at their owners because they haven't had enough exercise or time outdoors. I grew up with labs and have a lot of experience with little puppies and large dogs. My mom and I raised our two dogs back in NY from when they were 8 weeks old and now they are 12. I can put dogs in my truck for easy transportation. I have no problems with lots of fur, its all easily cleanable. I am quite against chewing. If your dog is not properly trained, this might not be the best fit as the house I share with two other ladies has lots of gear and things on the floor.
