I was a dog owner of 12 plus years. Our beloved Chiny passed away at 11 years old. Nothing makes us happier than spending time with dogs. My kids are very gentle and love playing with them as well as myself. When we see dogs walking our first reaction is to ask if its friendly and then shower the pup with love! I know almost all breeds and traits they have. We have a huge yard out in the country and plenty of time and love to give. This family of 5 will definitely tire out your big baby. Love is key. No one, I repeat noooo oneeee loves dogs more than me. Haha. Give us a shot, guarantee your pup will come back for more!
