I love my dog like my baby. I have always had dogs and get along with them perfectly. My dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps in bed with me. I don't leave my dog alone for more than 4 hours at a time and walk him every day. Dog must have good social manners or be crate trained in order to stay. Moving to a house soon and will begin boarding then. Soon to be a malamute puppy added to my fur family and a fenced in yard. I have experience working with sled dogs and border collies. I also have a cat so dogs must be well behaved or she will bop them on the head to put them in their place :'D
