I have had dogs all my life. We currently have two very well-behaved and socialized medium/large dogs who like to play with friends. Our home is dogs on the couch friendly, no carpet (a plus for puppy's in training) and has a dog door to our fenced back yard. The yard is large and has covered areas. I work from home and am here all day. We do have three children, so will only accept pets who are good with children.
