I have grown up with dogs (the labs and Schnauzer in the pictures) and so had my partner. We love all animals, but especially dogs. Young puppies to old dogs, big or small. We're happy to give the dogs as much or little fuss and attention as they want. One of my dogs at my mum's house is very unsociable and loves a cuddle only when he is in the mood for one. Whereas the Labradors cannot get enough! We don't have dogs of our own at the moment, but often dogsit for family and friends, including the little chihuahua in the photos. We have plenty of space at home and in the garden, and have a small parkland nearby for walks. We are both really active too.
