I have always owned dogs! Our dogs are well behaved and we'll mannored! We teach them patience obedience and love... We do have 3 kids in the house so if your dog isnt kid friendly please let me know WELL IN ADVANCE! We also have 2 dogs each are of good size.. One being a english bulldog mix and the other a german shorthair pointer.. My kids and dogs have grown up together.. They are not territorial.. The yard is not fenced and i have a chain that will hold a larger breed dog 60+ pounds.. If your dog is smaller than that i also have a tie out cable or ask that you please send a leash.. Also our dogs only eat a certain food and have trouble when they switch brands so please send your dogs food to cover thier stay!
