Dogs have needs just like humans! I own 3 English Bull dogs. Have owned a German Weimaraner, German Shepherd, and Boston Terriers... I have breed/birthed puppies. I have never had a problem caring for any dig breed or type. Dogs are a good judge of people. Please feel free to discuss with me your needs and expectations...You should not have to be worried while enjoying your time away. You can trust me with not only you dog but your home. Current employment requires me to pass a backgtound check and drug testing. This is important in these times. Special needs for your dog are no problem. I'm accustomed to breed with special needs and ageing requirements. You should rest easy that your dog is being taken care of!
