Im a Very hands on dog owner and will play and work with the dogs as needed. I have always loved animals. Your dog will be treated as one of my own. I grew up on a farm and used to rodeo, so I have had a lot of animals. I can't remember a time a was without a dog growing up. I just recently had to put down my 16yr old black lab.. Now I have a 1 year old Australian Shepard named "Echo " he loves all dogs and has non stop energy.. he and I would love some play buddies. We live in a nice neighborhood with a fence yard. With a lake close by.. I'm home from work by 8am, so the dogs wouldn't be alone during the day
