I have been around dogs my entire life. I had 3 labs as a kid and now a 4 year old lab mix that is my world. I even helped to deliver my dogs puppies when I was a kid. I love to stay active and prefer to walk/run with my dog. I'm self educated on the needs of dogs of all kinds. We have taught our girl to be friendly to kids, dogs, and even cats. I can do basic obedience training or just play fetch. I have a big yard to play in with the pups and a quiet road to walk. I also know some good spots for swimming. My dog is very active so I'm aware of how to keep pups busy to tire them out.
