We are a family of five, four humans one dog - Hunter our 11 year old Dalmation. We are long standing Dalmation owners and lovers of their friendliness, exuberance and energy.The whole family are dog lovers and our children ask to pat every dog we pass. My wife and I both work part time which enables one of us to be home every day.

We have a good size yard and 2 parks within 500m of our home and our dog gets to visit one of them at least once a day - the beach is also within walking distance and often part of a weekend walk. During school term our dog also helps out at school drop off and pickup to ensure the kids get to school on time - he is better known than us at the school.

Our dog sleeps outside in a kennel - when the weather is good, he's a bit of a scaredy pants when there's a storm and so sleeps inside on occasion. He spends the majority of the day where ever we are, be that inside or out. Visiting dogs sleeping arrangements can be accomodated inside or out.

We have recently used Pawshake and loved the experience for our beloved dog. As we are keen dog lovers we thought it would be nice to have more dogs around and it would be great to have more playmates for Hunter.

We'd like our dog visitors to be toilet trained and not be garden excavators as my wife is keen gardener.
