I grew up with big dogs and most recently resorted to smaller dogs for the feasibility of transportation and travel. Though, I love all dogs and enjoy working with them. Kind of like kids, I won't sit them in front of a TV or throw toys at them and expect them to play. I'm very active and willing to work with them and their temperaments. I've raised half a dozen puppies and they all turned out amazing and very well mannered. I wouldn't just be there to "watch them" but to work with them. I'm not your basic sitter so I don't expect basic wages.
