I have a fenced back yard, my three dogs can run freely. They are taken for walks periodically and to the river. They are given treats daily. They are inside most of the time unless it is nice weather, then they want to be outside. They get bathed quit often,two are sharpei's which shed a lot and have a lot of wrinkles. They are allowed on the furniture and they sleep at the foot of the bed. There is someone home with them most of rhe time. We've had experience with a few boxer litters . The puppies were a handful but great fun. Getting attached was hard not to do. Dogs are so much fun, part of the family. We take them for rides
