Fit pro runner, low traffic lake neighborhood who believes strongly in letting dog smell till hearts content. provide exercise and long walks to tire them mentally and physically. Always being a conscious gentle human with interaction to build a healthy trust relationship to build self esteem and repore. Former small dog and full size German Shepherd owner. We believed in three to four walks a day, allowing for plenty of time to explore and put there scent where they see fit. Providing a full water dish when ever possible. Also have small dog experience where one must be gentler with animal, and keep away from most other dogs as they seem to have big dog ego without the body to match, a good harness leash is a nessesity.
