Our mellow beagle, Ralphie gets lots of attention and love. He is crate trained and sleeps in his kennel through the night and that is what we require in order for us to keep you dogs also, since it fits our home routine Your dog will of course be out all day free to roam in our house and fenced backyard but at night (or if we need to leave to the store for an errand) we will put the dogs in their crates like we do our own Your dog needs to be up-to-date on all their shots including Bordetella and rabies. We are comfortable with most medium and small dog breeds but not aggressive breeds. Your dog must play well with children and other dogs and be used to sleeping in his kennel crate through the night always.
