We have a fenced in yard, where they will hang out the majority of the time - always with us watching. We will also want to hang out and cuddle on the couch with them too :) We have 2 female dogs - a 4yr old pointer/lab mix, and a 1 year old shorthaired pointer. They have LOTS of energy. We love doggies and so do they! They do prefer female playmates, but we are open to introducing them to the right small male doggies that come our way too. We can accommodate special needs and will make sure your dog is loved and gets to play, and has the best time. We look forward to playing with your dog in the Santa Cruz Mountains :)
