All my life I've owned pets. I've had 4 cats, 3 dogs, 3 hamsters, a Guinea pig, and a bunny. I had 2 German Shepherds and a shitzu. No dog is to big or small. I love them all. I have my own car so in the case of an emergency I can get them where they need to be. I know how to administer CPR. I'm very good with dogs still in training. I will treat them like my own. I live in a nice quiet community with a big backyard. My home does have stairs, about 9 or 5 depending on which way you enter. I will happily carry any dog up or down them if they have trouble with stairs. They can treat my home like yours, you allow them on the couch, so do I. You don't allow them, I won't either, so your training won't go to waste.
