We love large dogs too! I grew up with a Great Dane and a Cocker Spaniel -- so we love all sizes of dogs. We have a fully fenced yard so they have the safety and opportunity for exercise every time they are let out. Your pup will also get lots of love and attention from my two middle school aged boys. We have a yellow lab that loves to be around all kinds of dogs. Our dog Eva is very submissive and polite to all animals -- but she would love to play if you have an energetic dog. We also can take trips to the dog park if your dog is social and wants more interaction. I work from home, so your dog would not be left alone for more than an hour. I do have a large dog crate if your pet likes the security of sleeping in one or wants some quiet time. They are also allowed to sleep on the bed or couches.
