I have only had 3 dogs in my life because of my loyalty, but I have more experience with other dogs as well from a long time friend that lives in Muskegon, Michigan. He has his own kennel so that helped me a lot. He has multiple breeds of all sizes and even a dalmatian / pitbull mix breed which is surely a sight to see,I am currently in school night classes which I can take online so I can be home at those hours and also I can be of service within those hours as well. I do not have any allergies nor does my fiance so that shouldn't be of a worry, I do alot of running so I will be able to walk animals for as much distance suggested.
