| Contrary
to some reports, my dogs do not spend their days
in crates. I
have another house, roughly
the size of the house I myself live in, across the
yard. It includes room for the adult dogs,
facilities
for puppies, shower and bathroom facilities, a
restroom, a den with a fireplace as well as a
kitchen
and a storage room.
The den is perfect for watching television,
accompanied by the dogs, in the evenings.
We
are lucky to have a vast area of forest (appr.
8000 hectares) across the road from our house.
It contains plenty of footpaths and
logging roads where I can exercise my dogs and
let them run off the lead. I have also a large
fenced yard where the dogs spend lots of time,
always under supervision, depending on the
weather.
In wintertime, when the weather is cold
and they cannot stay outside lengthy periods of
time, they are taken out several times a day.
