My husband and I have a male neutered chocolate lab and a spayed lab mix female that are super playful and 2 cats that mostly stick to their own room of the house. We have a big backyard that's all grass and completely fenced and we love going to the park. We have a toddler who is more obsessed with animals than we are and will give your pup all the love. We crate train our dogs but they sleep with us at night. We are both life long dog owners, mostly labs but I have had small dogs in the past as well. I'm very respectful of house rules, so if dogs aren’t allowed on furniture or cats aren’t allowed on counters or in certain rooms that's fine by me.
