I have two 4 year old medium sized dogs (An Australian Shepherd and a Border Collie Mix). Both are high energy and LOVE other dogs. We have an unfenced yard with plenty of room to play but your dogs will be supervised while outside. I can take them out on a leash if needed! Raising 2 dogs from the puppy stage on, I have learned that the time commitment, challenges, and patience required to raise dogs are worth the reward of having a loyal companion. I look forward to spoiling your dog with love and attention as much as I spoil Harper and Paisley! I do have 2 young children so I request that any dogs in my care are comfortable with children. Although your dog would never be left unattended with my children, I do not want the experience to be added stress on your dog in an already new environment.
