I do not have a breed preference, even though my rescue is for the 'little ones'. I would have to have an in depth conversation with any dog guardian prior to accepting this very important role of caring for their fur kids. I would ask questions about their personality, age, health, history (where they came from), their likes and dislikes, their triggers (whether naughty or nice), their energy level, their diet, their sleeping preferences, the 'rules of the house'...and the list goes on. It is a case by case basis, but I would be sure to cover all the basic (and sometimes special) needs of the individual dog. Every pup is different, as are their habits and the expectations of their human parents. I would need to know as much as possible so I would be able to fulfill their needs.

Personally, I am a fan of going for walks on the trails along the coast. It all depends on the dogs and their levels of activity and endurance. I also have sling pouches and front carriers to let the little ones enjoy the day while riding along in comfort...if they choose not to walk. I also have kiddie pools at the house for those that like the water, and I have a great bin of toys to play fetch on my front lawn.
