We have been dog owners for several years as a family and I grew up with two dogs, a lab and a smaller mixed breed, so I have experience with dogs of all sizes. Our family has 6 kids, ranging in age from 15 to 4, who love caring for dogs. We have one playful 5-year-old medium sized dog and a 1-year-old golden retriever in our home who are very friendly and love to hang out with other dogs. Our home has a lot of indoor space for dogs to stay out of the heat/cold. Our backyard is fully fenced and has lots of space to run and has some nice shade. We are very active as a family and there is always a lot going on in our home.
