I've lived with dogs my entire life and have extensive experience with especially large breeds ...I don't mind the extra drool. I don't have a fenced in yard but there's definitely enough room for dogs to run and play. Many homes in the neighborhood have doggos too so your pup can have some play time or I can keep him/ her leashed if he/she is not so social. If your dog likes to run.. GREAT! So do I. I can wear out even the most hyperactive breeds. I don't have kids and I have a flexible work schedule so I can be there for the doggos as needed. I do have a blue heeler myself, so if yours is particularly aggressive towards other dogs, this might not be a great fit. Otherwise, give me a shout!
